Nathan Jones takes charge of his first Premier League home match as Southampton manager as Brighton make the trip along the south coast to St Mary’s.
The former Luton and Stoke boss was appointed as Ralph Hasenhüttl’s replacement in the build up to Saints’ final match before the World Cup break, which ended in a 3-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Jones has had more than a month to get his ideas across on the training pitch and Southampton geared up for the Premier League restart with a 2-1 victory over Lincoln in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
While Saints are struggling in 19th place in the Premier League table, Brighton are flying high in seventh, with new boss Roberto De Zerbi continuing Graham Potter’s fine work.
The Seagulls also now boast a World Cup winner in their ranks after Alexis Mac Allister played a key role in Argentina’s triumph at Qatar 2022, although the midfield maestro will not feature here.
