The international break came just as Wolves seemed to have found form, with the superb victory at Manchester City being their second league win in a row after a poor start. The challenge for Nuno Espírito Santo’s side is to pick up where they left off. The Southampton manager, Ralph Hassenhüttl, on the other hand has spent the break trying to tighten up his team, who have lost their past three league games. Unfortunately for Southampton, the midfielder Moussa Djenepo, who has not played since scoring the winning goal at Sheffield United, is not fit enough to return to action. Paul Doyle
