Fans will be eager to see new man Raphael Varane in action, while Jadon Sancho is also pushing for a maiden start after making a brief cameo in last weekend’s 5-1 win over Leeds.
Edinson Cavani is also in contention for a first appearance of the season, and it seems as though all three will be available at St Mary’s, but the boss is keeping his cards close to his chest for now.
“With regard to team news, that’s a boost as well, Edinson’s joined in, Raphael’s joined in and we’re getting fitter and fitter,” said Ole at his pre-match press conference.
