Leeds could go as high as 13th tomorrow with a win against Ralph Hasenhüttl's side, but the Whites could be without key players as Kalvin Phillips is fighting to be fit and Raphinha travels back from Brazil after his scintillating full international debut on Thursday night.

The Saints are 17th in the table, having taken four points from four draws in their opening seven games.

In their last match, Southampton lost 3-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where key player James Ward-Prowse was shown red for a dangerous tackle. The midfielder is suspended and therefore ineligible to appear against the Whites.
