    Southampton
    • Albert Gronbaek and Charlie Taylor miss out for Southampton, though neither would have started this weekend.
    • Saints could go with an unchanged XI following their last draw with West Ham last weekend.
    • That would mean a place on the bench for Tyler Dibling once again.
    Fulham
    • Rodrigo Muniz and Emile Smith Rowe will both be assessed for Fulham, leaving Reiss Nelson as the visitors' only confirmed absentee.
    • Kenny Tete should keep his spot at right-back, even after coming off in the defeat to Chelsea.
    • Harry Wilson is also pushing for a start following his return to action, but Ryan Sessegnon is expected to continue on the right flank.
