Latest Southampton vs Brentford team information
Southampton will be without Mateus Fernandes, who is suspended after a yellow card in the defeat to Palace. Manager Ivan Juric hopes Flynn Downes will return from a muscle injury. Will Smallbone is also close to recovery, but Jack Stephens could be out for a few weeks with an injury. Armel Bella-Kotchap, long out of favour, has been recalled to the squad and could be used in a back three.
Brentford face a long injury list, mainly in defence, leaving manager Frank with few options. Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer and Ben Mee are all injured, but Sepp van den Berg's return on New Year's Day, albeit for a few minutes, was welcome news. Goalkeeper Mark Flekken made a quick recovery after being substituted in the draw with Brighton, and Mathias Jensen also returned after a month's absence against Arsenal.

Latest Southampton vs Brentford football commentary
After two games in charge of Southampton, manager Ivan Juric has yet to win a game, with back-to-back defeats leaving the club in a difficult position heading into the second half of the season. After a 1-0 defeat to West Ham, Southampton went on to lose 2-1 to Crystal Palace despite taking the lead through Tyler Dibling. This means Southampton have only one win and six points from their opening 19 games of the season, and if they continue to fail, they will have made their worst start in Premier League history.
The team is bottom of the table, 8 points behind Leicester City and 10 points from safety, with a long way to go. With just 12 goals scored, the team is in danger of relegation. However, the defense has improved since Russell Martin left, with Southampton conceding just 3 goals in their last 3 games. They will face Brentford, who are on a 4-game winning streak against Southampton, but Brentford's away form has been poor, with just 2 points from 9 away games this season.
Brentford lost 3-1 to Arsenal and drew 0-0 with Brighton in 2024, but they are still 12th and just 7 points off the top 6. However, with tough games against Manchester City and Liverpool, manager Frank will be keen to win to keep his chances of finishing in the top 6 alive.
