Team news
Conor Coady’s hopes of making a 122nd consecutive league
appearance for Wolves hang in the balance after he was forced to leave the England squad due to covid protocols. The defender has had to self-isolate and train on his own but boss Nuno Espirito Santo hopes he will be available for Monday’s clash with Southampton.
Rayan Ait-Nouri is expected to shrug off the knock which saw him withdraw from France’s under-21 squad at the start of the international break.
Captain James Ward-Prowse is expected to be fit for Southampton after he returned to training this week following a hamstring injury which ruled him out of international duty.
Full-back Ryan Bertrand is also back after a thigh issue but Mohamed Salisu is still building up his match fitness.
Top goalscorer Danny Ings remains out after knee surgery last month, but manager Ralph Hasenhuttl reported the forward is making good progress ahead of an expected return in December.

Jones Knows’ prediction
My instinct when Southampton play is to put faith in them, no matter the opposition. They have 14 Premier League wins to their name in 2020 – only Liverpool (19) and Manchester City (16) have managed more in that period. However, although it pains me to write anything negative regarding Ralph Hasenhuttl, the Saints are overperforming this season according to the performance data, especially in forward areas. I’m sure their current form isn’t sustainable without Danny Ings.
And here they are facing a Wolves team that are just so difficult to play against. Saints have had problems against rugged and well-organised opposition in the past as shown by defeats to Burnley, Newcastle and Crystal Palace last season. Wolves are a level above those teams mid-table ranked teams and possess much more quality in forward areas. Can they edge it? Oh, I just can’t go against Sir Ralph. I’m on the fence.
