Joao Moutinho

Picking up the Portuguese international for around £5m from Monaco in the summer looks more of a bargain than ever now.

The control and class that he has brought into the Wolves midfield with Ruben Neves has been another key to their success this campaign.

Moutinho’s creativity has seen him create seven Premier League goals this season and he has played a part in all of Wolves’ league matches so far.

Saints are likely to field Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oriol Romeu in midfield tomorrow so it will be vital that they get control of the central areas early on.
