Copies some of previous stat line Ward-Prowse attempted six crosses and five corner kicks during a 0-0 draw Saturday against Manchester City.

Impact Ward-Prowse attempted an equal amount of crosses and corner kicks that he recorded the previous Saturday versus West Ham. The midfielder will try to maintain a similar statistical output when Southampton hosts Wolverhampton on Sept. 26.

Six crosses in draw Ward-Prowse sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's goalless draw with West Ham.

Impact Ward-Prowse failed to get much done Saturday, despite plenty of opportunity. The midfielder took his usual duty on set-pieces but just couldn't get the ball behind the defense. In the end it was by far his worst performance of the season and he has next to no chance to turn it around Saturday, away to Manchester City.

Converts late equalizer Ward-Prowse had five shots (two on target) and four corners to go with a late equalizing penalty in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Newcastle.

Impact It was a mediocre day from Ward-Prowse before the PK, but that's sometimes is how it goes. In addition to taking every set piece for Southampton, it looks like he also has PKs over Adam Armstrong, another boost to his fantasy value after losing PKs to Danny Ings in prior seasons.

Impact Ward-Prowse was the best all-around player for Southampton in their draw Sunday. The midfielder did it all on both ends of the pitch and he was very visible in the face of Manchester. It was very clear that he was frustrating the Red Devils and it only helped his confidence moving forward. Ward-Prowse continues to be the face of Southampton and with the newly added weapon of Adam Armstrong it will only help his production.

Extends Southampton contract Ward-Prowse signed a new five-year contract with Southampton, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Impact Ward-Prowse hasn't missed a minute of league play for Southampton since the 2018/19 season, which explains the importance of him to the side. He'll hope to repeat last season's eight goals and seven assists, a jump from five goals and three assists the prior campaign.

Fills stat sheet in loss Ward-Prowse created two chances, sent in 11 crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles (all won) during Saturday's 3-1 loss against Everton.

Impact Ward-Prowse can always provide huge fantasy numbers even when he doesn't appear on the scoresheet and that was the case here. Even with his side being dominated for most of the match, the midfielder found his way to contribute on both ends, which included a game-high 11 crosses. Up next for him is Aug. 22 home match against Manchester United and he'll probably be seen once again racking up defensive numbers while adding value as a set-pieces taker.

Starting against Everton Ward-Prowse (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Everton.

Impact As expected, Ward-Prowse recovered this week and is full go for Saturday's opener against Everton. Despite having a limited preseason, he hasn't missed a minute of league play the last two seasons and is a good bet to go a full 90 Saturday.

Available for opener Ward-Prowse (knee) will be available for Saturday's opener against Everton, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl."He's going to be OK. He trained the whole week and I'm looking fo...

Impact Ward-Prowse should be in the starting XI given that he's trained all week. For any other player, there'd be some doubts regarding his ability to start, but Ward-Prowse hasn't missed a minute in two seasons and it's hard to see him missing Saturday's opener if he's been training.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Ward-Prowse (knee) was pictured in training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's opener against Everton.

Impact Ward-Prowse still has a chance to start Saturday, but given that he's yet to appear in preseason, he's a long shot to go a full 90. Ralph Hasenhuttl should reveal more information at his press conference, which will hopefully give a better indication of Ward-Prowse's involvement ahead of the opener.

Could miss season opener Ward-Prowse continues to deal with a knee issue and could miss next week's opener against Everton, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "We don't want to take any risks with his...

Impact Ward-Prowse hasn't missed a minute the last two seasons, so his absence would be something new for Southampton. Combine that with the loss of Danny Ings and the Saints could look a bit different in the opener, though they still have the bodies to fill out a solid starting XI.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee issue Ward-Prowse wasn't in the squad for Tuesday's friendly because of a "little problem with the knee," according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact This doesn't sound like anything serious, but it's something to monitor with the new season less than three weeks away. Ward-Prowse is a constant in Southampton's lineup, playing a full 3,420 minutes each of the past two campaigns.
