Southampton make the short trip along the South Coast to face Brighton on Monday and will be looking to secure a positive result.

Their 3-2 loss to Manchester United had seen them build a strong lead in the first-half after goals from Jan Bednarek and James Ward-Prowse, but a fightback in the second period saw United eventually claim the three points on offer with Edinson Cavani proving to be the match-winner.

Brighton will be looking to build upon their recent run of positive results after claiming a win and two draws in their last three fixtures, so Saints will have to be back to their very best to get points back on the board.

Ahead of the game, team news has given us a hint as to how both teams may line up.

Here is a look at how Saints and Brighton could setup at the AMEX Stadium tomorrow:
