Four men missing: How Southampton could line up against Bournemouth

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Southampton could line up for Monday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Under-fire Southampton manager Russell Martin is expected to have an identical squad at his disposal for Monday's Premier League battle with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The Saints boss is still missing Gavin Bazunu (Achilles), Will Smallbone (hamstring) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (ankle) due to injury, while Jack Stephens serves the last of a three-game ban.

Southampton were seconds away from picking up their first top-flight win of the season at home to Ipswich Town last weekend, only to suffer a 95th-minute sucker punch as Sam Morsy dramatically levelled for the Tractor Boys.

Martin ought to have been encouraged by what he saw for 94 minutes at St Mary's though, and it would not be a complete shock to see the Southampton manager field an identical lineup for this South Coast clash.

A shining light in a difficult campaign for the visitors thus far, Tyler Dibling scored his first Premier League goal last weekend and should comprise part of a four-man attack alongside Cameron Archer, Ryan Fraser and creative fulcrum Mateus Fernandes.

Fraser and Archer failed to make it to 60 minutes against Ipswich, though, and Martin has Ben Brereton Diaz waiting in reserve, although the Chile international has now failed to win any of his first 19 Premier League games.

Adam Lallana provided the assist for Dibling's opener last weekend and should join forces with Flynn Downes in the middle, while Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Charlie Taylor and Yukinari Sugawara shield Aaron Ramsdale.

Southampton possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Taylor; Lallana, Downes; Dibling, Fernandes, Fraser; Archer
