Are Cork, Schneiderlin, SKD and Fonte the only survivors of the championship 11/12 team ? Excluding youth players (jwp and isgrove)
My first away game of the season and when I'm over we more often than not win so going for 2-1 Saints!
Nice short (ish) trip for you - flying in to Manchester? I'm heading up for this one too. Still tickets available...I imagine a lot of people are saving themselves for the trip on Tuesday
Good to see JWP is back in full training. Videos of him back in action are on the club's Snapchat story for those of you with the app. Reckon it could be a bit too soon for his comeback though, probably give him a run out in the cup against Sheffield United instead.

RK: Ward-Prowse will be in the squad soon. Toby fit for Saturday but Morgan is ruled out of Saturday but has a chance for Sheffield United.
Ward-Prowse trained today, and will travel north for games vs Burnley and Sheff Utd. Morgan won't feature on Saturday, but will travel and Ronald is hopeful he will be fit for Tuesday. Toby fit, trained and will play Saturday.
I'd expect Toby to slot into centre back with Davis playing deeper again and Tadic, Long and Mane infront of them. I suppose Toby could play midfield, Davis play upfield and drop one of Mane or Long but I'd rather keep the back 4 at its most solid.
I would be tempted to put Toby into midfield against Burnley to be honest. His range of passing is great and he's good on the ball. We shouldn't be tested that much defensively so Yoshida can partner Jose again.
This, but Long in for Mane. Mane has been off form for a while and Burnley will be in our faces. No lightweights.
