Southampton Predicted XI: Sheffield United (A)

Southampton are back in action after the international break, and they travel to face Sheffield United on Saturday. 

Saints concluded the first part of the season with three games unbeaten in a week after winning against Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham and clinching a draw at home to Manchester United. 

After using three at the back in the first two defeats of the campaign, Ralph Hasenhuttl opted for the 4-2-2-2 system in all three of those games and is likely to continue with that formation.

Sheffield United have made people take notice of their return to the Premier League after picking up five points from their opening four games, including a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge having been 2-0 down.

Southampton do have a couple of selection dilemmas for this clash following Kevin Danso’s suspension, as well as an injury to Nathan Redmond.

Moussa Djenepo, Ryan Bertrand and Michael Obafemi all picked up knocks towards the end of August but are expected to be back in contention this weekend. 

Although, this game could come a little too soon for Djenepo, who has only just returned to training.

Here’s how we predict Southampton to line up at Bramall Lane.
