The 3-2 FA Cup fifth round win at West Brom on Tuesday was met by six changes from the previous top-flight encounter with Burnley. We’re expecting Steve Bruce to rotate his squad for the visit of St Mary’s, but who will make the cut? Scroll and click through the pages as we predict Bruce's XI:
5. LB: Danny Rose
Bruce kept faith with Rose on Tuesday and will likely do the same again on Saturday. The more games he plays, the better the England international will get. Photo: Mark Runnacles
6. RM: Matt Ritchie
Watched from the bench in midweek after showing against Burnley just how much Newcastle had missed his presence. Let’s hope he marks his new deal with a goal. Photo: Alex Livesey
7. CM: Isaac Hayden
Partnered Jonjo Shelvey in midfield at home to Burnley, just like the Championship days. Sat out of the West Brom win. In for Nabil Bentaleb. Photo: Alex Livesey
8. CM: Jonjo Shelvey
Had a solid impact on United’s last PL outing after missing five weeks through injury. Like Ritchie, we hope he can mark his new contract with a special performance. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
