Southampton manager Claude Puel

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis says "potentially we could have a full squad, potentially we could have a couple missing," but hopes Matt Phillips will be fit to start.

Southampton midfielder Steven Davis (ankle) is a doubt and Oriol Romeu serves the first of a two-match suspension.

Claude Puel is unsure if striker Manolo Gabbiadini can return from a groin injury.
