Match Preview
Lambert doubt for Saints
Southampton hot-shot Rickie Lambert is one of a host of injury concerns for the clash with Plymouth.
The striker, who thumped 37 goals last term, has been struggling with a groin injury during pre-season and will be handed a late fitness check.
Winger Jason Puncheon is doubtful with an ankle injury, midfielder Adam Lallana has a knee problem and Morgan Schneiderlin, Dan Seabourne, Joseph Mills and Lee Holmes are all carrying knocks.
Boss Alan Pardew will definitely be without new signing Frazer Richardson after the defender suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Danny Butterfield will instead make his debut at right-back with a third summer recruit, Ryan Dickson, starting on the left.
Youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has figured regularly in pre-season and could be involved.
Plymouth boss Peter Reid has added to his defensive options for the trip by signing Lee Molyneux.
The left-back - a former Saints player - has been on trial at Home Park and was snapped up on Thursday after proving his fitness.
Molyneux, 21, could go straight into the squad with Onismor Bhasera pressed into action further up-field in a wide-left berth.
Bhasera has been courting transfer interest from a host of Championship clubs but Reid has rejected any offers for the highly-rated Zimbabwean.
Loan recruit David Button will tussle with Romain Larrieu for the number one jersey after the keeper sealed a loan switch from Tottenham.
Defender Yannick Bolasie is a doubt after damaging his ankle during pre-season.

Match Report
Summerfield stuns Saints Luke Summerfield scored his first goal for a year to lead relegated Plymouth to a surprise 1-0 victory over promotion favourites Southampton at St Mary's. Summerfield's scrambled 47th-minute effort ensured Peter Reid got off to a winning start as Plymouth manager. The defeat is an early setback for Southampton boss Alan Pardew, who is under pressure to guide the south coast side back into the Championship after only narrowly avoiding the sack at the end of last season. Saints dominated possession in the first half but, with last year's top-scorer Rickie Lambert sidelined by injury, lacked any cutting edge. Plymouth took the lead with their first effort on goal two minutes after half time. Bondz N'Gala's cross was headed across goal by Rory Fallon and Steven McLean flicked the ball into the path of Summerfield, who bundled home at the back post. Substitute Adam Lallana came closest to salvaging a point for the home side moments after coming off the bench when his 25-yard pile-driver was turned behind by Plymouth goalkeeper David Button.
