Southampton travel to Stoke at the weekend as they look to bounce back from the defeat at home to Manchester United.
The visitors are looking to continue their unbeaten away form in the league this season with a positive result at the Bet365 Stadium.
Beating Stoke, however, will be no easy feat, as the hosts took all the points the last time the two sides met on the last day of last season with Mark Hughes’ side running out as 1-0 winners on the day.
The Potters have adapted their formation to 3-5-2 for the new season however they are currently suffering from a major injury crisis, only having one recognised centre-back fully fit.
I would personally expect Stoke to shift their formation to a back four due to the current injury situation and would expect them to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Here’s how we expect the hosts to line up ahead the fixture:
