Southampton v Stoke City
Rickie Lambert and Luke Shaw are doubts for Southampton's season finale against Stoke.
Top scorer Lambert has been struggling with a knock to his back for a month and will be assessed, while 17-year-old left-back Shaw has had a virus.
Neither has trained this week, although manager Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful they could feature at St Mary's. Steve de Ridder and Vegard Forren are two others in doubt, while Gaston Ramirez and Danny Fox are suspended.
Midfielder Charlie Adam sits out because of suspension.
Adam serves a one-game ban after being dismissed for two bookable offences in a 2-1 defeat to Spurs at the Britannia Stadium.
Two other midfielders in Glenn Whelan (groin) and Brek Shea (calf) are both doubts, the latter picking up his injury in training this week.
Teams:
Southampton (from): Boruc, K Davis, Clyne, Richardson, Shaw, Yoshida, Fonte, Forren, Hooiveld, Cork, Schneiderlin, S Davis, de Ridder, Ward-Prowse, Lallana, Do Prado, Puncheon, Mayuka, Lambert, Rodriguez.
Stoke (from): Begovic, Sorensen, Cameron, Huth, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Wilson, Kightly, Shotton, Nzonzi, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Jones, Walters, Crouch, Owen, Jerome, Palacios, Shea.
