Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood

Southampton possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; Wood, Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis; Sugawara, Downes, Ugochukwu, Walker-Peters; Fernandes; Onuachu, Sulemana

Southampton will be sweating on the fitness of young difference-maker Tyler Dibling, who was withdrawn just after the hour mark against Manchester United midweek due to an ankle injury. He will be assessed prior to kick-off.

Gavin Bazunu is closing in on a first-team return having been injured since April but is unlikely to displace Aaron Ramsdale any time soon. Juan Larios and Ross Stewart are long-term absentees for the Saints, while defender Jack Stephens is missing due to a training ground injury.

In terms of tactical setups, Nottingham Forest is anticipated to adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring key players such as Sels in goal and Wood spearheading the attack. Wood's exceptional scoring record—boasting 13 goals thus far—positions him as a pivotal asset for Forest’s offensive strategy. Conversely, Southampton is expected to implement a 3-4-3 formation with Ramsdale guarding the net and Sulemana leading their forward line. However, injuries affecting key players like Ross Stewart and Jack Stephens may hinder Southampton's effectiveness on the pitch .

While there is considerable speculation regarding team lineups and match predictions, information pertaining to free online broadcasts remains elusive across various sources . As fans eagerly await kickoff, it will be intriguing to observe how both teams adapt their strategies amidst these challenges. Ultimately, the match promises an engaging spectacle that could have implications for both clubs' standings as they navigate through this competitive season.
