Wolverhampton Wanderers – pre-match summary

• Romain Saiss is now at AFCON and will be a huge miss at the back for Wolves this month. Willy Boly is also at the tournament in a double blow for Bruno Lage's side.
• Marcal tucked inside as the third centre-back in Saiss' absence in the third round of the cup but Leander Dendoncker is perhaps more likely to play there this weekend.
• Daniel Podence scored twice in the cup win and should keep his place in the side with Adama Traore once again forced to settle for the bench.

Southampton – pre-match summary

• Ralph Hasenhuttl may stick with a back three on Saturday after thumping Brentford 4-1 on Tuesday night.
• Southampton were forced to change shape with Kyle Walker-Peters missing with COVID and Yan Valery suspended.
• Valery is back from his ban and there is an outside chance Walker-Peters could return too but Hasenhuttl is expected to stick with the same formation given its success in midweek.
• A head injury forced Armando Broja off against Brentford and Che Adams may take his place in the XI after scoring from the bench on Tuesday.
• Adam Armstrong, Stuart Armstrong and Jack Stephens are all options to start if Hasenhuttl wants fresh legs.
