The Saints got the better of Albion in their Carabao Cup tie at the Amex last month. Both teams made ten changes from their previous outings that evening, so a different game is to be expected this time round.

Albion's last trip to St Mary's in January ended in a 1-1 draw after Saints defender Jack Stephens cancelled out Glenn Murray's first half opener.
