Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Ipswich Town could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Ipswich Town new boy Julio Enciso could make his full debut for the Tractor Boys when they host Southampton in Saturday's Premier League basement battle.

The Brighton & Hove Albion loanee came off the bench for the final 10 minutes of last weekend's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, where he set up Jacob Greaves's late consolation from a corner.

The door has now swung open for Enciso to start this weekend thanks to an injury to Wes Burns, who came off with a knee problem in the first half at Anfield, and he will not play again ths season.

Ben Johnson was chosen to replace Burns on Merseyside, but Kieran McKenna should side with the more attack-minded Enciso against the 20th-placed Saints, as the Paraguayan joins Omari Hutchinson, Liam Delap and Jaden Philogene in the final third.

Jens Cajuste was a notable absentee from the squad to face Liverpool, although the Sweden international is only thought to have been rested and is therefore expected to be given the all-clear to feature in this one.

Cajuste's recall could spell danger for Sam Morsy - scorer of a last-gasp leveller in September's 1-1 draw with Southampton - as the Napoli loanee looks to reform a double pivot with Kalvin Phillips.

An ill Leif Davis did not re-emerge for the second half against Liverpool, but there is nothing to suggest that the left-back will not be available to face Southampton in a familiar backline with Greaves, Dara O'Shea, Axel Tuanzebe and Christian Walton.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:
Walton; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Phillips, Cajuste; Hutchinson, Enciso, Philogene; Delap
