Southampton predicted team vs Brentford 2024/25 Premier League

Even though Southampton is at the bottom of the league right now, they will be hosting a Bees team that is considerably less stingy at St. Mary’s. Flynn Downes and Will Smallbone are doubtful, and Jack Stephens (injury) and Mateus Fernandes (suspension) will be out for the hosts.When the two teams met early in the season, Brentford won 3-1. Here is our prediction for the Saints’ lineup this time.

Goalkeeper 

The first goal Aaron Ramsdale gave up against Crystal Palace last weekend infuriated him because he believed Jean-Philippe Mateta had fouled him. Even though he is still playing with a modified four-finger glove, he will not lose his position between the sticks.

Defenders

After acknowledging that Armel Bella-Kotchap is not yet ready, Juric will continue to use the same back three of Jan Bednarek, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, and Nathan Wood.Kyle Walker-Peters ought to remain in the starting lineup as well. If the Croatian manager gives Ryan Manning an opportunity to show off, he might play down the right.

Midfielders

Lesley Ugochukwu should start again because Saints missed him in the first half against Palace. Tyler Dibling will have full responsibility for midfield creativity now that Fernandes is out.Adam Lallana should start if healthy, but Joe Aribo will probably complete the trio.

Forwards

Under the new manager, Cameron Archer should get his first start, but Adam Armstrong’s assist against Palace might keep him ahead of the former Villa forward. Paul Onuachu has solidified his position up front and is one of the first names on the teamsheet under Juric.
