That looks strong. I might put Solly in rather than Mwepu.

They play 2 up so probably worth having extra insurance at the back. Moder and Bissouma looks a solid midfield pair so I'd like to see them get a run of games. Mac Allister would be my preference for the number 10 role, but he's a bit too attacking for Potter so it'll probably be the Computer instead.

It's interesting seeing people talk about the three recent losses not being major problems, and I agree with them.
As we get to this point in the season, I do wonder whether this is the dividend for having a competitive squad rather than relying heavily on 2 or 3 big hitters. Other similar sized clubs are bound to have their own injury problems but I bet they don't have the same depth of cover as we do.
Then again, perhaps this is easy to say when one of our injured players isn't Neal Maupay!

I think that’s the best team we can put out at the moment.

Aaron Connolly comes into the squad for Southampton to cover for injuries after originally being pencilled in for a game against Liverpool U-23's tomorrow (Fri).

... is the most likely one, I would imagine. Possibly March for Moder or Gross.
I'm a little bit curious what the bench is going to look like now when five players are injured.

A lot of what Mr Potter says in his press briefings turns out not to be the case.
Why would he tell the Southampton manager who he is going to play on Saturday?
He mentioned the injured players not being available but that was rather obvious from the TV pictures

Moder is deceptively quick too.
He ran through the Leeds defence onto a ball, got there first and hit the angle of the crossbar and post. It was really interesting when he hit the afterburners and outpaced the Leeds players, he had another gear.

Yes is the answer.
Potter said last week Welbeck was ‘close to training with the team’ didn’t he so wouldn’t think we’ll see him just yet ?

The idea that managers are always being clever when they announce who is injured and in press conferences really isn't the case.
Potter is nearly always correct (as of the time of the interview) as to availability , injuries and he often confirms that players will be in the squad in advance (eg: Connolly this week) .
But if Albion fans - on this thread - can't predict the team, and then if even we know the team, we can't predict the formation ...then i doubt he's given too much away to Ralph by confirming that Adam Webster is back or not back.

I agree, but usually when he mentions players who have been injured, he'll either confirm they are definitely out, or they are back in training and have a chance to make the squad. Connolly has been in that category for the last few weeks.
But Potter is usually very cautious about bringing players straight back from injuries, look at Biss who sat on the bench for a few games before being recalled, Lamptey the same, and to a lesser extent Burn and Webster have been unused subs after injuries.
The difference with Connolly is Potter knows he desperately needs another attacking option in the lead up to Christmas, and getting Connolly some game time with U23s would have been a better option than bench warming at Southampton.
