We can now confirm the starting line-ups for this afternoon’s Premier League match at Southampton (kick-off 3pm UK).
We are unchanged from last weekend’s 3-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest, with goalkeeper Fraser Forster and midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg set to start against their former club and Richarlison retaining his place in the front three alongside Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.
Emerson Royal is back in the matchday squad after missing the Forest win through injury – he’s named among the substitutes.
Starting XI: Forster, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Pedro Porro, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Davies, Richarlison, Kane (c), Son.
Substitutes: Austin, Royal, Tanganga, Sanchez, Perisic, Sarr, Danjuma, Kulusevski, Lucas.
