Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has a fully-fit squad aside from long-term absentee Jack Stephens.
Armando Broja is available following a brief spell out with an ankle problem.
Aston Villa remain without injured former Saints striker Danny Ings, Bertrand Traore and Douglas Luiz.
Ezri Konsa is banned, meaning a likely recall for Tyrone Mings, but Jacob Ramsey has overcome an ankle sprain and Morgan Sanson and Jaden Philogene-Bidace are available after illness.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Aston Villa are in a bit of a mess right now. They have lost four league games in a row and several players are still injured or unavailable.
