How Southampton could line up against Leicester City

How Southampton could line up against Leicester

Ralph Hasenhuttl has been left with a selection headache of sorts ahead of Southampton's FA Cup semi-final with Leicester City on Sunday.

The Saints boss chose effectively his strongest XI for last week's Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion, which ended in a resounding 3-0 loss.

That could possibly open the door for the likes of Che Adams, Moussa Djenepo and Nathan Tella to come into the starting lineup here for this clash at Wembley Stadium.

Nathan Redmond is one of those who could make way, but the versatile forward has an impressive return of five goals and two assists in his last six FA Cup outings.

Southampton will definitely be without Takumi Minamino, who is cup tied after featuring for parent club Liverpool earlier in the competition.

Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone also remain long-term absentees for the Saints.

Southampton possible starting lineup: Forster; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Walcott, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Armstrong; Adams, Ings
