Preview

Southampton left it late against a 10-man Stoke side last weekend, with goals in the 89th and 94th minutes sealing a 3-1 home win. The Saints were then beaten 4-1 on home soil by West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

Millwall kept their impressive start to the Championship season going in gameweek two, capitalising on Jose Cordoba's red card to beat Norwich 3-0. The London club have a 100% record in the league, and moved past Cambridge United to advance to the Carabao Cup third round in midweek.
