Southampton should have their entire squad available for their trip to Everton in the Premier League on Sunday, which will be the last men’s game to be played at Goodison Park.
Kyle Walker-Peters was the only player missing from the 0-0 draw with Manchester City last weekend, as the right-back was absent due to illness, but he is in contention to return here.
Welington was drafted in for his first start in almost three months in place of Walker-Peters, with Liam Manning only on the bench, but after doing no wrong, and helping to keep City at bay, the Brazilian should keep his place.
The substitution at half time of Lesley Ugochukwu that afternoon was purely a tactical one from interim boss Simon Rusk, as the Chelsea loanee was on a booking, but the performance of Joe Aribo, who replaced him, could see him come into the XI.
There may also be a change up front, where Tyler Dibling started as a false nine a week ago, but with the youngster likely to move out wide, Cameron Archer could come in as a more natural choice as the focal point of the visitor’s attack.
Ross Stewart is unlikely to make a start after being dropped last weekend, and it has been a tough campaign for the Scot, who has failed to score in any of his 11 PL appearances this season.
Yukinari Sugawara may also feature here after returning to the matchday squad as an unused substitute against City, after three matches on the sidelines.
Southampton possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Welington; Mateus Fernandes, Downes, Aribo, Dibling; Archer
