Championship leaders Swansea have made an unbeaten start, but face a Southampton side with a strong home record and potentially reeling after Saturday's draw at Lincoln.
Saints conceded an 87th-minute equaliser at Sincil Bank, but, despite the disappointment, are unbeaten in four Championship games and have beaten Stoke 3-1 and Millwall 5-1 at St Mary's.
Swansea drew 0-0 at home to Wrexham on Saturday and have kept four successive clean sheets.
However, they have won on only one of their last 16 trips to Southampton and could be vulnerable to their first defeat of the season.

Team news
Caspar Jander appears to be Southampton's only concern, with the German yet to play this season due to a muscle injury.
Fellow midfielder James Ward-Prowse could again start after returning to the club for a second spell following three years away.
Swansea midfielder Goncalo Franco is also still to feature in 2026-27 as he works his way back from a thigh issue.
Defender Cameron Burgess may miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
The stats
Southampton are unbeaten in four Championship games, a run that includes home wins over Stoke and Millwall.
Swansea are still unbeaten this season and have kept clean sheets in their last four matches, however, they have won on only one of their past 16 league visits to Southampton.
After wins at Stoke and Derby, the Swans are hoping to win their opening three away league matches for the first time.
But since Tonda Eckert took over last November, Saints have earned more home points (44) than any other second-tier team.
Their striker Cyle Larin has scored four times already this season, with three of those efforts coming at home.

Prediction
Leaders Swansea have made an excellent start to the Championship season, but Southampton are a classy outfit, especially at home.
They have already outplayed Stoke and Millwall at the St Mary's and can grab a third victory.
However, they have conceded in both of those victories and have not kept a clean sheet since beating League Two Colchester in the opening round of the EFL Cup, with their last six outings featuring both sides scoring.
That suggests the Swans can at least score, but so can Southampton striker Cyle Larin, who has already found the net four times in the league, with three of those being in home games.
Score Prediction: Southampton 3-1 Swansea
