SAINTS manager Russell Martin and his side are looking to make it 10 Championship matches unbeaten when they host Bristol City.
They need to get back to winning ways after dropping two points in Saturday's 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town.
The visiting Robins are undergoing a period of change themselves this month after former Saints boss Nigel Pearson was sacked and replaced by Liam Manning.
Coming from Oxford United, Manning shares similarities with Martin in his style of coaching and the football he wants his side to play.
Here is how we think Martin could line up his Saints to take on Bristol City, who were victorious last time out over Middlesbrough...
Goalkeeper
Gavin Bazunu will retain his place in the Saints net and is on to play every minute of the Championship campaign under Martin.
Defenders
Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are certain starters. Ryan Manning could come back in but James Bree likely keeps his place at left-back.
Midfielders
Flynn Downes continues to do a stellar job for Saints as the midfield anchor, while Will Smallbone and Stuart Armstrong create ahead of him.
Attackers
One certain change is the reintroduction of Charly Alcaraz, with Saints seemingly unable to win games without him. Kamaldeen Sulemana and Adam Armstrong likely flank the Argentine.
Full predicted team:
Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis, Bree; Downes, Smallbone, S Armstrong; Alcaraz, Kamaldeen, A Armstrong.
