Who would make it into your Southampton XI for their Premier League season opener against Swansea?

Southampton have become a regular fixture in the top half of the Premier League table so much will be expected of new coach Mauricio Pellegrino.

The Saints boss kicks off with a winnable looking fixture at home to Swansea at St Mary's on Saturday in which he will be heavily reliant on last season's squad.

Indeed, the only new arrival so far is young Polish defender Jan Bednarek, 21, while Jay Rodriguez and Cuco Martina are among those to have departed.

With uncertainty surrounding the future of captain Virgil van Dijk, Pellegrino has some decisions to make ahead of the visit of the Swans.

We are giving you the chance to pick your preferred XI for Southampton's opener. You can choose from a range of formations and even experiment with players in unusual positions.
