Plymouth vs Southampton Lineups, Preview, and Team Information
Plymouth
The hosts did well to start the season with a win and a draw while also taking a victory at the beginning of their EFL Cup campaign. However, for Plymouth, it's all about defending, as long as their defense holds, they can do some damage. Michael Cooper is set to miss the game through injury.
Possible lineup: Hazard, Edwards, Scarr, Gibson, Earley, Wright, Houghton, Randell, Whittaker, Hardie, Mumba.
Southampton
It is a long way back to the Premier League and Southampton will try to do it in just a year from being relegated. The team lost some important players this summer, the captain James Ward-Prowse moved to West Ham, Tino Livramento was sold to Newcastle and Mohammed Salisu ended up in AS Monaco. Romeo Lavia is also on the verge of leaving with Liverpool showing significant interest. Armel Bella-Kotchap and Juan Larios are missing this match with health concerns.
Possible lineup: Bazunu, Manning, Stephens, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, S. Armstrong, Smallbone, Alcaraz, Edozie, Adams, Tella.
Player to Watch: Che Adams
One of the players that remained in the club from last year's horrible Premiership season, Che Adams already scored a couple of goals in the Championship even though he played limited minutes without a single start. This is his fifth season at the club he joined in 2019 from Birmingham. During his four years at the club, Adams scored 33 goals and added 15 assists in 148 appearances.
The 27-year-old will certainly have his minutes increased as the season goes forward, there are plenty of games on the schedule, and with all of his experience at the club and in the Premiership, Adams should be one of the most important players for the team that is vying to get back to the Premier League in a quick manner.
Starting lineups
