Team News

Plymouth
Southampton
  • Steven Schumacher will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI when his side welcome recently relegated Southampton to Home Park this weekend.
  • Plymouth could be without versatile wide man Kaine Kesler-Hayden once again after the wing-back missed the trip to Vicarage Road through injury.
  • Will Smallbone picked up an ankle injury during the latter stages of the game against Norwich and looks set to miss the trip to Home Park.
  • Samuel Edozie was also withdrawn with an injury last weekend, but the young winger should be fit to feature here.

Prediction

  • Plymouth's return to the Championship has coincided with an immense start to the season. The Pilgrims were tipped by many for relegation ahead of the season opener, but have taken four points from their opening two league outings, alongside a convincing 2-0 Carabao Cup win against reigning League 2 champions Leyton Orient.
  • Southampton attempted an incredible 31 shots against Norwich last Saturday, all while dominating the possession, but sloppy defending meant that the Saints needed a late Adam Armstrong penalty to steal a point. Five goals conceded in two league games will be a warning sign for manager Russell Martin
