Andre Gray – made a somewhat surprise move to Watford in the summer from fellow Premier League side Burnley.

Since then the English striker has netted three goals, and claimed two assists along the way to making Watford one of the early Premier League surprise packages. Last year, Gray also bagged nine goals and three assists in what was a defensive-playing side.

Though this might seem like a small amount for the striker, he should not be underestimated in the slightest.

The forward does posses great physical strength and pace, and will therefore be a handful for Southampton’s centre back pairing, who ever they may be.
