Predicted Southampton lineup vs Nottingham Forest: Who will replace Dibling? | OneFootball

Here is our predicted Southampton lineup for the Premier League game against Nottingham Forest. Who will Ivan Juric choose to replace Tyler Dibling?

Nottingham Forest will host Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday. Coming on the back of an away defeat to play another away game is challenging for Southampton.

Even further, considering that Tyler Dibling may not be available for this match due to an ankle injury. Understandably, there are a lot of doubts regarding Southampton's starting eleven at the weekend.

That being said, let's take a look at our predicted Southampton lineup against Nottingham Forest.

Predicted Southampton lineup vs Nottingham Forest: Who will replace Dibling?

GK - Aaron Ramsdale. Ramsdale had a bad game against Manchester United. Still, Southampton doesn't have any other keeper near his level, so let's hope he rises to the occasion this time.

CB - Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Remains the best Southampton defender currently and will start again in the defence.

CB - Jan Bednarek. Bednarek will be crucial while coming up against Chris Wood. The defender could give Wood a tough time with his physicality.

CB - James Bree. Bree was impressive in midweek and Ivan Juric should start him again.

LWB - Charlie Taylor. Amad dominated Walker-Peters on the left which must be changed. A defensive left-back like Charlie Taylor is needed to deal with Nottingham Forest's wide attackers.

RWB - Kyle Walker-Peters. Don't get it wrong, Sugawara didn't make any mistakes against Manchester United. But Southampton needs Walker-Peters on the right to contribute to the attack in Dibling's absence.

CM - Joe Aribo. Been the best Southampton midfielder in recent matches.

CAM - Mateus Fernandes. Needs to improve his finishing on Sunday. Juric could also opt to play Fernandes as a centre forward.
