Puel should give these 3 Southampton stars a chance against West Brom

Josh Sims

West Brom have been excellent defensively for much of the season so far, so Southampton may need to look to something different in a bid to break the Baggies down on Saturday.

And that could mean that youngster Josh Sims gets an opportunity.

The 20-year-old burst onto the scene with an assist just one minute into his Saints debut against Everton back in November, although hasn’t started a Premier League game since then – instead he’s made four substitute appearances.

A few starts in their domestic cup runs suggests that he remains an important part of the squad at St Mary’s, and Puel could call upon his pace and trickery in a bid to prise open the West Brom defence on Saturday.
