Team News

Southampton
Sheff Wed
  • Russell Martin will be without Samuel Edozie until the end of January, so expect Ryan Fraser to return to the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Nigerian international Joe Aribo will miss out as he heads to the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Danny Röhl could revert back to the side that beat Hull in the league with the only change being a debut for Brighton loanee James Beadle in between the sticks.
  • Bambo Diaby is expected to return to the bench after serving a suspension, while George Byers will serve the final instalment of his on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Southampton could only manage a draw against a struggling Norwich side on their last league outing but responded well in the FA Cup as they hammered Walsall 4-0.
  • The Saints are unbeaten in a staggering 18 league matches and are just three points behind second-placed Ipswich heading into the weekend.
  • Sheffield Wednesday were gifted a shot at three points two weeks ago after Tyler Morton was sent off in controversial circumstances, and the Owls duly delivered in a 3-1 home win.
  • A 4-0 FA Cup victory against Championship rivals Cardiff will only serve to boost the visitors' hopes heading into this clash.
