Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Fulham vs Southampton from Craven Cottage. Team news to follow shortly...

Mauricio Pochettino on the challenge facing his side: "'It's going to be a tough game against Fulham. They've made a lot of changes a lot of signings. They've just signed Lewis Holtby from Tottenham. They're going to be very aggressive on their own pitch. They'll be very much wanting to get the three points from us."

Rene Meulensteen on Fulham's lack of goals: "“We need to get our noses in front for once, if you do it becomes a different sort of game. We're lacking goals. The chances we get are few and far between, so the opportunities you get we have to take".

Southampton welcome back Rickie Lambert to the starting line-up to replace 18-year-old Sam Gallagher up front. Saints fans will also be pleased to see the big presence of Victor Wanyama return in the centre of midfield alongside Schneiderlin. Jack Cork is relegated to the bench while Maya Yoshida deputises for the injured Dejan Lovren at the back again.

Well the big news for Fulham fans is that new loan signing Lewis Holtby STARTS. He goes straight in to the line-up despite just having the one training session with his new teammates. Clint Dempsey drops to the bench while Darren Bent replaces Dimitar Berbatov up front following his departure to Monaco. At the back, the hole left by Phillippe Senderos is filled by 21-year-old Dan Burn.
