Southampton vs. Leeds United live stream features two teams languishing in the relegation zone and two managers who are under pressure to turn things around.

Southampton enters the match with just four points and no wins. Leeds United have won just one game and are only one place and two points behind in the league standings heading into the weekend.

The reasons for each slow start are clear. Southampton is one of the few teams in the Premier League with the fewest goals conceded, having conceded just five against various opponents. They appear to be missing Danny Ings, who moved to Aston Villa this summer. Leeds United, on the other hand, are the most defensively sound team in the Premier League. Only Norwich and Newcastle, at the bottom of the league, have conceded more goals than them in their first seven games.

Southampton, however, will not be helped by the absence of Che Adams. Home side Southampton will also be without Jack Stephens, who has a knee injury.

To make matters worse, captain James Ward-Prowse is suspended after being sent off against Chelsea before the international break. Ibrahima Diallo will replace him in midfield, with Romain Peraud, Armand Broža, Moussa Genepo, and Mohamed Eliounoussi also in the mix, as will Ralph Hasenhüttl.

Leeds coach Marcelo Biesla also has a player selection problem. Winger Rafina, who scored his first goal for Brazil in the early hours of Friday morning UK time, is absent for the match. Striker Patrick Bamford, midfielder Calvin Phillips, and defenders Robin Koch and Luke Ayling are out with injuries. Tyler Roberts, Jack Harrison, and defender Pascal Struik will play.

The starting lineup is as follows:

Southampton McCarthy, Livramento, Bednarek, Saris, Perrault, Genepo, Diallo, Romeu, Eliunossi, Broja, Redmond

Leeds United Mesurier, Shackleton, Llorente, Cooper, Dallas, Struick, James, Critch, Roberts, Harrison, Rodrigo
