Impact Salisu was a decent attacking threat to Wolves from the back three on Saturday, but he couldn't do enough to catch up to his opponents on the scoreboard. It won't get any easier next weekend against Manchester City, which have scored 54 goals in 22 Premier League matches.

Fraser Forster - Concedes three goals against Wolves Forster made two saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Wolverhampton.

Impact Forster is yet to keep a clean sheet in four Premier League appearances while deputizing for Alex McCarthy (hamstring), who might be returning from injury soon.

James Ward Prowse - Scores free kick against Wolves Ward-Prowse scored a goal and created a chance in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Wolverhampton. He also made a clearance, won one of three tackles, and he took three shots (two on t...

Impact Ward-Prowse scored the 12th Premier League goal of his career directly from a free kick on Saturday, drawing level with Gianfranco Zola and Thierry Henry for second on the all-time list in the league (David Beckham is way out in front with 18). He is up to six goals overall this season, and is just two away from his personal-best record of eight he scored in 2020. Next weekend he will face defending champions Manchester City, which currently have the best defensive record in the league.

Armando Broja - Stays in starting XI Broja (head) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Wolves.

Impact It wasn't thought to be a major issue for Broja and he remains in the XI after receiving a blow to the head last match. The forward has three goals in his last five starts and will hope to keep that form against an inconsistent Southampton back line.

Yann Valery - Available against Wolves Valery served his one-game suspension and is eligible for Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton.

Impact Valery is an option again, but there's a chance he isn't asked to start again given his nervy performances. With Kyle Walker-Peters available again, he and Romain Perraud are expected to start at full-back, meaning it's back to the bench again for Valery.

Mohamed Elyounoussi - Out with COVID-19 Elyounoussi will remain out with COVID-19 for Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton.

Impact It's the second absence of the week for Elyounoussi, who was struggling for playing time prior to COVID-19. He should be back next week, but it's hard to see him moving back into the XI with just one start in the last six matches in which he was available.

JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Theo Walcott - Out with COVID-19 Walcott will remain out with COVID-19 ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton.

Impact It's the second absence of the week for Walcott due to COVID-19, but he should be back for the next league match. He doesn't have much of a role in the side at this point, but he can still be used if needed, as seen in the recent contest when he went 89 minutes against West Ham.

Valentino Livramento - Remains out with knee issue Livramento (knee) will remain out for Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact It's another absence for Livramento, who hasn't played since Dec. 26 because of fluid in his knee. The last update was that he was getting better, so the hope is that he can use another week of training to return to the squad for the Jan. 22 contest against Man City.

Kyle Walker-Peters - Back in training Walker-Peters (COVID-19) is back in training ahead of Saturday's match against Wolves, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Impact Walker-Peters is a welcome boost to the side, as Southampton have been stretched thin at full-back. He figures to make an immediate return to the starting XI with the possibility of playing right-back to allow Romain Perraud at his more comfortable left-back position.

Impact Broja found the back of the net in the 49th minute scoring Southampton's third goal of the match. The goal was the fifth of the season for the forward, coming from his lone shot in the match. As long as it's not a concussion for Broja, he should contend for the starting XI Saturday at Wolves.

Stuart Armstrong - Goes full 90 against Tottenham Armstrong had two shots not on target and two inaccurate crosses in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham.

Impact Armstrong was back from injury in the draw and surprisingly went the full 90, the first time he went more than 56 minutes all season. His fitness is back, but he still doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the squad given his lack of form having been out the majority of the first half.

Valentino Livramento - Will miss Brentford match Livramento (knee) has not recovered fully and won't be available Tuesday against Brentford, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. "We are looking from day to day, the first steps...

Impact Livramento appears close to a return, so he could be back for Saturday's trip to Wolves. However, due to Yan Valery's red card, Southampton don't have a set right-back for Tuesday's match, though Jack Stephens has played there before and is most likely to get the call.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mohammed Salisu - Back from suspension Salisu is available for Tuesday's match against Brentford after serving his suspension.

Impact Salisu is available again Tuesday and is expected to move back into the starting XI. At full strength, the Saints have four quality center-backs with Salisu being at the top of the depth chart having started 17 matches this season after eight the prior campaign, his first following a move from Villarreal.
