Nottingham Forest lineup vs. Southampton: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Wood out to end home hoodoo: How Forest could line up against Southampton

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Nottingham Forest could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood will endeavour to translate St Mary's form into City Ground form in Sunday's Premier League battle with Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

The New Zealand international comes into the clash fresh from scoring his 13th goal of the top-flight season in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Tuesday, the ninth game of the campaign where he has scored the first goal of the match.

Wood has also recorded three goals and one assist from his last five Premier League games against Southampton, but not a single one of those contributions has come at his home ground.

The Forest talisman will be out to end that particular hoodoo as he spearheads the Tricky Trees charge on Sunday, most likely with support from the unchanged trio of Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi yet again.

Further back, Danilo was not involved in the Liverpool draw after making his comeback from a severe ankle injury in the FA Cup win over Luton Town, while Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring) remains absent.

However, Santo should see no reason to alter the midfield makeup of Ryan Yates and Elliot Anderson, thereby forcing James Ward-Prowse to watch on from the bench against his former club.

A familiar backline will be helmed by Murillo, whose 17 clearances against Liverpool were the most by a single player in one game this season, while Matz Sels chases a 10th clean sheet of the season in goal.

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