Fallon back from suspension, Schneiderlin still out for visitors
Plymouth Argyle welcome back Rory Fallon for the visit of Paul Sturrock's former club Southampton.
Fallon missed the 2-0 defeat at Barnsley through a one-match ban after receiving five cautions but could come back into the starting line-up.
Sturrock - who ended his first spell at Home Park to take over at Southampton in 2004 - is also hoping that skipper Karl Duguid (calf) will pass a late fitness test and come back into contention.
Duguid's return would be a timely one as Simon Walton begins a three-match ban after being sent off against the Tykes - a dismissal which has led to the 21-year-old being placed on the transfer list by Sturrock.
Argyle could also be boosted by the return of striker Emile Mpenza, who is due to train ahead of the clash after regaining his fitness following a hamstring injury.
And winger Jason Puncheon could also come into contention for the match after being recalled from his loan spell at MK Dons.
Southampton news
Southampton are again set to be without Morgan Schneiderlin for the game at Home Park as Jan Poortvliet's side seek to end a run of six games without a win.
Schneiderlin missed the 2-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury and will remain on the sidelines.
Winger Lee Holmes has resumed training after recovering from the knee ligament injury which has kept him out since September and is pushing for a return to the squad.
Fellow midfielder Anthony Pulis has returned for the reserves after a spell out with a broken foot and could be involved.
Former Arsenal trainee Ryan Smith could also be included after recovering from a shoulder injury.
Skipper Michael Svensson (Achilles) and fellow defender Wayne Thomas (knee) remain on the sidelines.
