Southampton face Burnley, Norwich in an FA Cup replay, and Leicester before their League Cup second leg against Liverpool on January 25, so Puel must keep rotating his midfield options to keep everyone fit and fresh.

Thus, the Frenchman could draft James Ward-Prowse into the side for his eighth Premier League start of the season.

The England Under-21 international has registered two assists in his last four league starts, with the young midfielder setting up Sofiane Boufal’s winner against Middlesbrough on December 11, before his free-kick was met by the head of Virgil van Dijk against Tottenham on December 28.

The Saints will really need his energy against a stubborn Burnley side who have won seven of their 11 home league games this season.
