  • Southampton look set to sign Feyenoord's Justin Bijlow as their new first-choice goalkeeper, though the Dutchman won't be ready to start here in any case.
  • Russell Martin will likely remain unchanged from the opening day, after an encouraging performance against Newcastle.
  • Danilo suffered a broken ankle inside 15 minutes of last weekend's season opener against Bournemouth, and will be set for a spell on the sidelines.

Prediction

  • Southampton failed to make their dominance count against 10-men Newcastle last weekend, eventually proving the architects of their own downfall in a 1-0 defeat.
  • Russell Martin's side will be buoyed by what was a genuinely encouraging performance, even when playing against 11, and will hope to pick up their first points here.
  • Nottingham Forest were five minutes away from an opening day victory over Bournemouth last Saturday, but succumbed to a late Cherries equaliser.
  • Nuno's side will see the trip to Southampton as a huge opportunity to pick up points against the teams around them.
  • A score draw could be the likeliest outcome in this one.
