Three players Puel must drop ahead of West Ham clash

Jordy Clasie

This is less a case of Clasie needing to be dropped, but more a case of his replacement needing to be in the side.

James Ward-Prowse has missed the last two games having picked up a knock in the win at Anfield, despite being perfectly alright to celebrate after. However, he could be in line to return on Saturday and if there is any chance he will be bit, the England U21 captain needs to be in the side.

The 22-year-old played perhaps two of his best games in a Saints shirt against Leicester and then Liverpool, what he needs now is a run in the side.
