Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Hojbjerg is set to return for this game after being sent off against Manchester City and serving his subsequent four-game ban.

It cannot be argued that the Danish international has been a key man for Saints so far this season and he scored his third goal of the season against City despite the red card.

Because of his leadership and suitability in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s setup, he is likely to return to the starting line-up here and could provide value at just £4.4m on FPL.

He is Saints’ fifth highest scorer in fantasy points with 45 but has a good chance of scoring or assisting with an increased focus on attacking under the new regime.
