Will Grigg

Southampton fans will be praying that they don’t hear the now world famous “Will Grigg’s on fire!” chant come final whistle on Sunday as Wigan’s man of the moment is the most likely to split the two sides in favour of the hosts.

The Northern Irishman scored the sole goal in the win over City, netted twice against West Ham, once against Bournemouth and another three times in the first two rounds of the competition.

The striker also has 11 league goals this season so the competition’s top-scorer will be looking to eliminate another Premier League side on Sunday by getting on the score sheet.
