I like the lineup. I think it's a better idea to start James Milner in this match than Jesus Navas. Fortunately, Southampton are without a few regulars in Nathaniel Clyne and Victor Wanyama. Rickie Lambert starts from the bench. Southampton are this year's surprise package so far, and 3 points on the road here would be huge.

Comment away...
