James Ward-Prowse

The 24-year-old midfielder continued his fine run of form against Manchester United last weekend with a stunning free-kick.

His strike took him to five goals in eight Premier League games after a superb improvement in his form under Ralph Hasenhuttl.

More bite in his play in the middle of the pitch and more attacking intent was exactly what Saints needed from the England international and he has been tipped for another call-up from Gareth Southgate in the near future.

51 of Ward-Prowse’s 63 Fantasy Premier League points this season have come in those last eight matches and he could be a key man again for Saints this weekend.
