Liverpool's £23.5m sale stands as away question mark against Southampton

Southampton fans may remember Rhian Brewster getting tagged as a potentially fine Liverpool export but Derby County is his present playground for now. Plus, he may not be warming up there on the day after tomorrow when Saints go to face his current employers.

Despite taking in more criticism and sweat than it should have, Will Still has jotted down his second Championship win. Now, the next accomplishment for him should be a week double and let the league set onto another pause mode for a fortnight.

Being honest, Still had these missions listed for Ipswich Town and Saints saw how the fulfilment part was only half done. However, clinging to the Ipswich visit as a yardstick for how better Still can operate in front of Derby County will be labelled hypocritical here.

The fan's second division favourite, Russell Martin never fetched more than a point over the Tractor Boys and Still isn't worse than him at the bare minimum. That agreed, the tables turning factor for Southampton on the weekend can actually come from the Derby locker room.

Former Liverpool starlet Brewster may skip Saints meeting

According to a report from the Derby Telegraph, their wideman Rhian Brewster is a question mark to set foot on the away matchup.

Often, English internationals like Dele Alli get talked into discussions of how illustrious their career could have been, but it didn't, and Brewster is an equally good nominee albeit from the former youth Three Lions pool.

At the start of this decade, the 25-year-old went with the tag of Liverpool's £23.5m prodigy and Championship football lies as his stern reality in the present.

Nonetheless, Brewster can still bring panicking emotions on Still's face and just like Tahith Chong, Southampton would submit more hopeful No's than Yes's on meeting him in the opposing end of the pitch.

If the crucial match phases remain kind to Saints, the final scoreline at Derby could match the one at the Blades. Being better is never an erased option, altogether.
