Fraser Forster - Dealing with injury Forster has an injury and is a doubt for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Forster hasn't started yet this season and an injury isn't going to help playing time. He started eight matches last season, but it looks like Alex McCarthy is the definite No. 1 for now, especially if Forster has to miss time.

Jack Stephens - Could be option against Brighton Stephens (knee) is building fitness and could be an option for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Stephens would likely take the spot of Jan Bednarek in the starting XI if ready to go, but Lyanco is also an option. Stephens hasn't played since September because of this injury, so he may not be ready for a full 90 just yet.

Jan Bednarek - Out at least one match Bednarek will miss Saturday's match against Brighton because of a calf injury.

Impact For now, Bednarek will only miss one match, but calf injuries can be nagging and there's a chance he'll miss an extended period. The good news is that Lyanco is an option to start, but also Jack Stephens is returning from his injury.

Stuart Armstrong - Remains without timeline Armstrong (calf) remains out and doesn't have a timeline to return.

Alex McCarthy - Four saves for draw McCarthy made four saves during Wednesday's two-all draw with Leicester City

Impact McCarthy was excellent Wednesday, keeping his side in the game with multiple big saves. The keeper has been a mediocre fantasy option though, and rarely faces enough shots to really wrack up the saves. He will have a favorable clash Saturday, against Brighton.

Nathan Tella - Three shots in draw Tella shot three times (once on goal) during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Leicester city.

Impact Tella registered his first three shots of the season, this time on the left side of the midfield. Tella isn't a massive fantasy option at the moment, but he has grown into the role offered to him. Next up is a very favorable match against Brighton.

Nathan Redmond - Assists in first start back Redmond provided one assist on three chances created during Wednesday's two-all draw with Leicester.

Impact Redmond earned an assist in his first start back since missing a match due to the birth of his son. The midfielder did well in the match and looks to be one of the most dangerous midfield options in the Premier League. He has a favorable clash with Brighton up next.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Che Adams - Scores in draw Adams scored once on four shots (three on goal) during Wednesday's two-all draw with Leicester.

Impact Adams scored with a great finish as he continued a solid season Wednesday. The forward now has four goals so far, but has been in great form with three goals in his last five. He will look to keep the form going Saturday, against Brighton.

Jan Bednarek - Scores goal, comes off injured Bednarek was subbed out of Wednesday's draw against Leicester City in the 85th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made seven clearances, two interceptions and scored a g...

Impact Bednarek opened the scoring in the third minute on Wednesday, but he had to come off near then end of the match. He was replaced by Lyanco against Leicester, who could also fill in for him Saturday against Brighton if Bednarek's potential injury is severe enough to deem it necessary.

Mohamed Elyounoussi - Available against Leicester Elyounoussi is available for Wednesday's match against Leicester after missing the match over the weekend because of the birth of his child.

Impact Elyounoussi should be fit for Wednesday and an option to start, having started the last five contests in which he was available. He was doing more damage earlier in the season, as he's failed to hit 80 minutes in his last three and doesn't have a shot on goal in his last five.

Ibrahima Diallo - Will be option Wednesday Diallo (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's match against Leicester, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Diallo stayed on the bench over the weekend after playing as an outside midfielder the prior contest. He only has three starts this season, but he's played in almost every match in which he was available. That'll likely be the case following this ankle issue, as it doesn't seem to be a major worry.

Lyanco - Makes first start for Saints Lyanco made four tackles (won two), six clearances and one block during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Lyanco had been a sub in the previous four matches but came into Saturday's match in the starting XI at center-back. He performed well by leading Southampton in tackles and clearances despite the heavy loss to the league leaders in goals scored. His next chance to start will come against Leicester City on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mohammed Salisu - Productive defensive showing Salisu made two blocks, three interceptions and four clearances during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Salisu held his own in terms of defensive stats but Liverpool were able to run rampant in the first half by scoring three goals. This was a tough showing after Southampton had kept three clean sheets in the prior five matches. Salisu and the backline will look to bounce back against Leicester City on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Armstrong - Paces Saints in shots during loss Armstrong took four shots (two on goal), made one interception and one clearance during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Armstrong led Southampton in shots and he now has 16 shots (four on goal) in his past four matches. He's earned significant starting time at forward and is a player worth considering heading into Wednesday's home match against Leicester City.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Ward Prowse - Puts in seven crosses during loss Ward-Prowse put in seven crosses (one accurate), created one scoring chance and made one block during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Ward-Prowse had a decent outing despite a difficult opponent as Liverpool were rampant in the first half. He'll look to bounce back in a slightly more advantageous outing when Southampton host Leicester City on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Alex McCarthy - Concedes four goals during loss McCarthy conceded four goals and made two saves during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact McCarthy was beaten three times in the first half and then midway through the second half. The Southampton backline and McCarthy had been playing well as of late with three clean sheets in their past five matches prior to Saturday's result. You could chalk this outing up to a tough opponent as Liverpool lead the league in goals. Southampton will host Leicester City on Wednesday in their next match.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahima Diallo - Suffers ankle injury Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said after Saturday's defeat against Liverpool that Diallo had twisted his ankle in training.
