Manuel Lanzini
Lanzini has built a reputation as one of the most talented attacking midfielders outside the Premier League’s top six and is a danger when in form.
The Argentine has three goals and six assists in the league this campaign and will arrive back from international duty with Argentina ahead of the game.
Lanzini’s ability to exploit the space in front of opposition defences has seen him linked moves away from the London Stadium as teams crave a creative presence from the number 10 position.
Clever passing and runs beyond Arnautovic will make the 25-year-old another presence to be wary of for Saints on Saturday.
