Southampton are back in action this weekend after having a fortnight off due to the FA Cup quarter-final commitments of Manchester United meaning their fixture had to be rearranged.

Having beaten Watford 4-2 at Vicarage Road last time out, the Saints are back in and around the capital with a trip to Tottenham, who have not lost at White Hart Lane all season.

In fact, the south coast side are the last to have picked up three points on Spurs’ home turf, with a Steven Davis inspired 2-1 win at the tail-end of last season.

Claude Puel’s side have turned on the style in recent weeks, with a shift back to the 4-2-3-1 system which has served them well since a return to the Premier League in 2012.

The formation shift, as well as the addition of Manolo Gabbiadini, has lead to the Saints bagging ten goals from their last three in all competitions, all away from St. Mary’s.

However, the improved form has meant that, for the first time this season, Puel has named an unchanged eleven not just twice on the bounce but for all three games, leaving many sat on the bench looking for a way back in.

Here are THREE Southampton men who deserve a shot this weekend…

Martin Caceres

The Uruguay international arrived on a free transfer after the close of the transfer window, with the Saints having sold captian Jose Fonte to West Ham.

The former Juventus and Barcelona man, having not played a first team game in over a year, has been restricted to development squad football and a watching brief on the first team bench so far but will be itching to get ago against an in-form Spurs side, especially knowing he won’t have to deal with the injured Harry Kane.

Sofiane Boufal

The Moroccan winger was brought in as a club record signing last summer but has not featured as much as many would have liked due to some injury set backs so far.

The former Lille man has shown flashes of brilliance in the time he has spent on the pitch, however, not enough to unseat the likes of Nathan Redmond and Dusan Tadic in the wide positions, he deserves a shot and cracking that solid Spurs back line, featuring ex-Saint Toby Alderweireld.

Mouez Hassen

A January loan signing alongside fan favourite Manolo Gabbiadini, ‘keeper Hassen has – like Caceres – been restricted to football in the development side thus far.

However, whilst the Saints have been in spectacular form so far, their first choice in between the sticks Fraser Forster has come in for plenty of criticism. There wouldn’t be too many grumbles from the travelling fans should Hassen get a shot.
