On Wednesday, Southampton host Sunderland in the round of 16 in the EFL cup.
In the last round, Saints beat Crystal Palace on home turf with Charlie Austin and young midfielder Jake Hesketh getting on the scoresheet.
Rotation will be in the mind of boss Claude Puel, as this fixture will be the third Saints have played within a week, after away games against Inter Milan and Manchester City in the Europa League and Premier League respectively.
Three of Southampton’s first choice full-backs in the form of Cedric Soares, Matt Targett and Ryan Bertrand have been ruled out of the game with injury, with Cuco Martina and Sam McQueen set to replace them for the third game running.
Record signing Sofiane Boufal will be hoping to make his first start in a Saints shirt after making substitute appearances against Inter and City.
So, here is how we have come up with a combined line-up between Saints and their visitors for Wednesday.
