Primavera youth team tactician Vecchi has been given the temporary role to lead them through this trip and Crotone at the weekend.

Although it might seem a more defensive approach, there are still some very attack-minded players in slightly different positions.

Antonio Candreva, who scored a splendid volley to decide the reverse fixture at San Siro, is wide right and Ivan Perisic on the left, while Ever Banega takes a supporting role behind Mauro Icardi.

Assane Gnoukouri gets the nod in midfield and Gary Medel is available again, as he is sitting out a three-match Serie A ban.

Southampton are only one point ahead of Inter in Group K, two behind leaders Sparta Prague.

The Saints beat Sparta 3-0 here in the opening game, drew 0-0 at Hapoel Beer-Sheva and lost at San Siro.

Charlie Austin is on the bench, as Jay Rodriguez is preferred upfront.

Southampton: Forster; Martina, Yoshida, Van Dijk, McQueen; Davis, Romeu, Ward-Prowse; Hojbjerg, Redmond, Tadic; Rodriguez

Southampton bench: Lewis, Clasie, Fonte, Davis, Austin, Boufal, Bertrand

Inter: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Miranda, Nagatomo; Candreva, Gnoukouri, Medel, Perisic; Banega; Icardi

Inter bench: Carrizo, Melo, Biabiany, Ansaldi, Santon, Eder, Murillo
