In the last three games, SAINTS boss Russell Martin has only made one change, and that was necessary for reasons of fitness.
The St. Mary’s team defeated Stoke City, Rotherham, and Leeds United to earn seven points from those games; their only blemish being a draw with the latter.
Martin has adjusted his tactics to promote consistency and strength following his team’s 19 goal surrender in the first eight Championship games.
Here is how we believe the Saints will lineup for today’s trip to Hull City, despite the fact that Martin is unlikely to make many changes for the trip due to international duty for several players.
After a 4-0 victory against Gibraltar in European qualifying, Gavin Bazunu returns to Saints and will look to add a second goal for his team this weekend.
Ryan Manning, Jan Bednarek, and Kyle Walker-Peters should all continue in their positions, with Martin ideally maintaining a perfectly composed back four.
Mason Holgate may have been able to return if Taylor Harwood-Bellis had sustained an injury, but Martin affirmed that he was available.
Before signing, Flynn Downes informed us that he had recovered fully from his sickness and had taken on the job of holding midfielder.
Despite their international involvement, Stuart Armstrong and Will Smallbone should retain their spots from the previous three in front of him.
Adam Armstrong and Kamaldeen Sulemana are obvious choices because they had the entire two weeks to recuperate and work with Martin.
Despite having only returned from Argentina a few days prior, they could start on either side of Charly Alcaraz. If Alcaraz starts from the bench, Ryan Fraser is expected to start next.
