Saints new boy in line for debut

Guilherme do Prado should be involved in Southampton's game at Bristol Rovers. Boss Alan Pardew wanted to hand his new Brazilian midfielder, signed on an initial five-month loan deal from Italian side Cesena, his debut against Bolton in the Carling Cup on Tuesday but they did not receive international clearance in time. Centre-half Dan Seaborne missed the 1-0 midweek defeat with a foot injury and remains a doubt while full-back Frazer Richardson is still on the sidelines with a shoulder injury. Youngster Aaron Martin was chosen ahead of Radhi Jaidi at centre-back against Bolton and could keep his place after an impressive display. Striker Rickie Lambert lines up against the club for whom he scored 59 goal in three years.
