Ivan Toney's future remains uncertain and was left out of Brentford's defeat to Liverpool, with interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Al-Ahli.
Brentford have added Gustavo Nunes from Gremio and will rely on Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo for Saturday's game. Brentford will be without four players through injury: Igor Thiago, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey and Josh Dasilva. Mark Flekken will continue to start in place of Valdimarsson.
Southampton are trying to complete a £25m deal to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal, and if successful, Ramsdale will become the first-choice goalkeeper after Gavin Bazunu, who is expected to return in early 2025. Alex McCarthy performed well in the defeat to Forest and remains a reliable option. Ross Stewart may not be ready for the upcoming game, but Kamaldeen Sulemana has recovered and could join the attack.

Latest Brentford vs Southampton football review
Crystal Palace ended Brentford's Premier League run, and Brentford went on to lose to Liverpool at Anfield with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. Brentford showed resilience in that game, though, and secured a narrow win over Colchester United in the cup thanks to a brilliant save from Hakon Valdimarsson.
Brentford are looking for their second successive Premier League home win for the first time since November 2023. They have won seven straight home games against newly promoted sides, scoring at least two goals in each.
Southampton, after two early losses, are looking for their first Premier League points. They have conceded two goals in their first two games and are enjoying impressive possession but are lacking in finishing.
Recent head-to-head history shows that Southampton have failed to pick up a point or score against Brentford in their last three games, losing 8-0 on aggregate. Brentford will be confident of continuing their winning streak and maintaining their good form at home against newly promoted sides.
