High-flying Aston Villa will seek an instant response after their winning start to the season was ended by a 3-0 home defeat to Leeds United last time out.
Southampton have taken 10 points from their last possible 12, most recently beating leaders Everton, and another victory on Sunday would take them above Villa.
Team news
Dean Smith reports no new injury concerns and will select from the same squad that faced Leeds.
Southampton's trio of Moussa Djenepo (hamstring), Will Smallbone (thigh) and Mohammed Salisu (match fitness) will miss Sunday’s contest.
On-loan winger Theo Walcott, however, is available having been ineligible to face parent club Everton last weekend.
