James Ward-Prowse

Ward-Prowse has been handed the captains armband for at least the remainder of this season and could thrive in the role.

The England international came through the Saints youth system and will make his 270th appearance for the club if he plays at Carrow Road this evening.

The arrival of Ralph Hasenhuttl as Saints boss has rejuvenated the 25-year-old and turned him into an excellent all-round midfielder, so the added responsibility of being the captain could well push him to even higher levels.
