Gunn or McCarthy?

Hasenhuttl gave Angus Gunn a chance in goal at Arsenal on Sunday and he performed well in the circumstances.

The 23-year-old made some good stops to keep the score to 2-0 on his second Premier League start and could therefore be in with a chance of keeping his place.

Alex McCarthy could have been considered unlucky to lose his place in the side after not doing too much wrong overall.

He has made 25 appearances so far this campaign but it remains to be seen who will come in for tonight’s vital game.

Changing the goalkeeper too often could unsettle the Saints defence so it may be time for Hasenhuttl to stick with the man he sees as number one for the rest of the season.
