Wolves lineup vs. Southampton: Predicted XI for Premier League clash amid Marshall Munetsi concern

Munetsi concern, five missing: Predicted Wolves XI vs. Southampton

Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Marshall Munetsi is expected to be fit for Saturday's Premier League encounter with Southampton at St Mary's.

The 28-year-old scored his first Premier League goal to draw Vitor Pereira's side level in last weekend's 1-1 stalemate with Everton but then had to come off at half time with an unspecified issue.

Pereira was ambiguous at full time, simply stating that Munetsi had "felt something", although he has been included in the Zimbabwe squad for the upcoming international break and has been given the all-clear to play on Saturday.

As a result, Munetsi should join Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Jorgen Strand Larsen in an unchanged attack, as Matheus Cunha will serve the second of his three-game suspension, but Rodrigo Gomes, Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan are all alternative options.

Gomes could also do a job at left wing-back, but Rayan Ait-Nouri is a shoo-in, as are the rest of his bank of four in Nelson Semedo, Joao Gomes and Andre, the man of the match from last weekend.

Pereira also has a settled backline of Emmanuel Agbadou, Matt Doherty and Toti Gomes in front of Jose Sa, and the Wolves boss should stick with that rearguard for the showdown with the Saints.

Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwone, Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez remain out with their long-term knee injuries, but Wolves have no other fitness concerns.

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Sa; Doherty, Toti, Agbadou; Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Bellegarde; Larsen
