Southampton v Wolves: match preview

Southampton v Wolves
Southampton v Wolves: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: X

Southampton’s thin squad has been punished five successive times but, with players coming back from injury, they will seek to repeat their Cup win over Wolves on Thursday. Nuno Espírito Santo did play a weakened team though. With a full strength lineup, injuries aside, they will aim to copy Arsenal from earlier in the season by serving up a victory following exiting the Cup against Saints. A first goal of the season from Adama Traoré on his 23rd appearance would be very handy. Graham Searles
