Team News: Kyle Naughton handed Swansea City debut for Southampton trip

Garry Monk hands Kyle Naughton his Swansea City debut for their Premier League trip to Southampton, while Ronald Koeman makes two changes to his side.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has made two changes to his side for this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Swansea City.

Maya Yoshida and Harrison Reed both come into the starting lineup following last weekend's FA Cup fourth-round defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, while James Ward-Prowse retains his place in the side on the back of signing a new deal at the club.

Visiting boss Garry Monk has opted to make six changes to his side following an equally disappointing cup exit at Blackburn Rovers, the pick of which sees Kyle Naughton handed his Swans debut.

Jay Fulton is also handed a start for a Swansea side seeking a first win in five league outings, with Bafetimbi Gomis and Marvin Emnes given the nod up top.

Jack Cork, who made the move to South Wales from the Saints earlier this week, is ineligible to feature this afternoon.

Southampton XI: Forster, Clyne, Yoshida, Fonte, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, S. Davis, Reed, Elia, Tadic, Pelle
Substitutes: K. Davis, Gardos, Mane, Targett, Seager, Gape

Swansea City XI: Fabianski, Taylor, Williams, Fernandez, Naughton, Fulton, Shelvey, Carroll, Emnes, Dyer, Gomis
Substitutes: Tremmell, Amat, Oliveira, Tiendalli, Grimes, Rangel, Barrow
