Southampton Predicted XI: Derby County (A)

Southampton will be looking to advance through to the fourth round of the FA Cup when they travel to Derby County this weekend. 

The Saints head into this fixture on the back of a hard-earned point on the road against Chelsea in the Premier League. 

Their counterparts, meanwhile, will also be looking to kick on after a draw. Frank Lampard’s side could only hold a resilient Middlesbrough side to a 1-1 stalemate at Pride Park.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is likely to ring the changes in his first ever FA Cup clash as he offers some of the fringe players chances to shine. 

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg remains out of contention as he serves the second of his four-match suspension. Ryan Bertrand and Michael Obafemi are still sidelined with injuries but are both expected to return in the coming weeks. 

Without further ado, take a look at how we’re expecting the Saints to line up against their Championship opposition on Saturday!
