Southampton manager Claude Puel has backed his patched-up defence to deal with Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Saints are without key defender Virgil van Dijk for Sunday's Wembley showdown in the EFL Cup final.
Instead teenager Jack Stephens, who is almost half Ibrahimovic's age, is set to be handed the job of shackling United's superstar striker -- who scored twice when the two teams met in the Premier League in August.
But Puel, who came up against former Paris Saint-Germain player Ibrahimovic while managing Lille in France, insists the in-form Swede holds no surprises for his side.
