Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Fulham could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Fulham could be without three players for Saturday's Premier League clash with already-relegated Southampton at St Mary's.

While Reiss Nelson (hamstring) and Rodrigo Muniz (muscle) remain sidelined with injuries, Emile Smith Rowe (knock) will be assessed ahead of kickoff after missing the 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

The absence of Muniz will see Raul Jimenez continue to lead the line, while Andreas Pereira - who has created more chances from set plays than any other player in the Premier League this season (35) - is set to operate in the number 10 role if Smith Rowe misses out again.

Marco Silva has been boosted by the return of Harry Wilson, who recovered from a foot fracture to feature as a late substitute against Chelsea after almost three months on the sidelines. The Welshman is once again in contention to feature this weekend.

However, Silva may opt to gradually integrate Wilson back into the first-team fold, so both Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi - the latter of whom has scored a personal best nine PL goals this term, including one last weekend - are likely to continue on the flanks.

While Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic are set to continue in midfield, Silva could stick with a back four of Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson, although the likes of Timothy Castagne and Jorge Cuenca will be pushing for a recall.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi; Jimenez
