Full Southampton squad available to Nathan Jones for Nottingham Forest clash as four ruled out

Nottingham Forest are in action this evening against relegation rivals Southampton at their St Mary's stadium (7:30pm)

The Reds have so far had a mixed start to the year, losing to Manchester United and drawing with Chelsea. A win is crucial for Forest and it would move them out of the relegation zone following defeats to Everton and Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile a win for Nathan Jones' side could potentially lift them out of the bottom three depending on results elsewhere. However, the Saints are winless in their last six games having last won at AFC Bournemouth in October.

Heading into the game, Jones' side have the worst home record in the Premier League so far this campaign having collected just six points. They have only won once and picked up three draws in eight games.

But Steve Cooper's men have also struggled on the road, picking up just two points in eight games away from the City Ground this season. The hosts will be without at least four senior squad members, with Tino Livramento close to returning from a knee injury while Alex McCarthy (ankle sprain), Theo Walcott (thigh) and Juan Larios remain unavailable.

Jones will welcome back Romeo Lavia after he recovered from a hamstring injury sustained in August.

Here is the full Southampton squad available for the Premier League clash...

Goalkeepers: Willy Caballero, Gavin Bazunu

Defenders: Kyle Walker-Peters, Lyanco, Duje Caleta-Car, Mohammed Salisu, Armel Bella-Kotchap

Midfielders: Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Aribo, James Ward-Prowse, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo, Samuel Edozie, Ibrahima Diallo, Romeo Lavia

Forwards: Adam Armstrong, Che Adams, Sekou Mara, Mohamed Elyounoussi
