Today's officials
Stuart Attwell takes charge of today's game, with Constantine Hatzidakis and Natalie Aspinall his assistants.
The fourth official is John Busby, the VAR is Craig Pawson and the assistant VAR is Wade Smith.
Frank: I expect proactive Brentford in January window
Brentford have a significant number of long-term injury concerns and may be forced to move in the transfer window if the absentees are not back in action soon.
Ben Mee, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer, Igor Thiago, Gustavo Nunes, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey and Josh Dasilva are in the treatment room with none of them due back against Southampton.
“I expect us to be proactive, as we always are, and be out there in the market. Eyes wide open to see if there is anything we want to do,” Thomas Frank said.
“The injury situation is what it is. The medical staff are working very, very hard, doing everything they can to get people to return to play as quickly as possible.
“It’s not like we need some (new signings), but let’s see what’s happening in the next three or four weeks if players are not turned around and are able to play.”
Juric: Southampton can become like winners, not losers
Ivan Juric maintains he has seen enough in his first two games to believe the players can become “like winners, not losers”.
“They (players) are really motivated in this moment, they want to change the situation,” Juric said.
“They know they are doing better than before, and also that it is not enough, but I expected it like this.
“We need a repeat like the game against West Ham, but maybe put more energy, be more clinical with something more to win the game.
“It is important that we become like winners, not losers.
“These two games, I think we lose them on set-pieces – and there is also other things to be getting better, to be much more concentrated.
“We want to keep it this way, but we have to be getting better in attack of course.”

Juric brings in two members of backroom staff
New Southampton manager Ivan Juric has added two faces to his backroom coaching staff.
Matteo Paro has worked as Juric's assistant at Genoa, Hellas Verona, Torino and Roma and has joined the Saints in the same capacity.
Stjepan Ostojic has also worked with Juric throughout his management career and joins as fitness coach.
The pair have had their work permits approved and begun work with the squad at Staplewood Campus.
Southampton have also confirmed Matt Gill, Rhys Owen and Colin Calderwood have all now left the club.
One player every Premier League club must sign in January!
How will Brentford fare given lack of recovery?
Brentford travel to St Mary's just three days after they gave up a 1-0 lead in an eventual 3-1 loss at home to Arsenal on New Year's Day.
Injuries have been racking up for Thomas Frank's side in recent weeks, and they will face a Southampton side that, on paper at least, will be fresher given the given they have had two more days of recovery after their 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace on December 29.

Jones Knows' prediction
Our resident tipster has had his say...
This is an appealing spot to back Southampton at Evens with Sky Bet on the draw no bet. Brentford have lost 17 of their last 23 Premier League away games and remain a very one-dimensional team in terms of their approach. Out of possession they really struggle to create sustained pressure which makes it easy for opposition teams to enjoy lots of territory.
Plus, this is such a tight turnaround for Thomas Frank's injury-hit squad having played Arsenal on New Year's Day. If Saints can't get a result here then things really do look grim.
