Ings starts third straight match for Saints in Sunday’s only Gameweek 32+ fixture

Gameweek 32+ continues to move at a glacial pace, with just one Premier League fixture taking place on Sunday.

Southampton are the visitors to Watford, with kick-off at Vicarage Road at 16:30 BST.

Danny Ings (£7.2m) makes Ralph Hasenhuttl’s starting XI for the third straight match, quelling fears that he may have been rested amid the fixture congestion.

The Southampton manager has made changes to his starting XI elsewhere, however, with Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m), Yan Valery (£4.6m) and Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) all dropping to the bench.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) misses out with an ankle injury.

Oriel Romeu (£4.3m), Will Smallbone (£4.5m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m) and Shane Long (£4.7m) are the players replacing them.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) fills in for the suspended Jack Stephens (£4.4m) at centre-half, meanwhile, but Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) keeps his place after his high-profile error in the defeat to Arsenal.

Nigel Pearson has made three changes to his starting XI from the side that lost 1-0 at Burnley.

Craig Cathcart (£4.3m) replaces Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) at centre-half, while Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m), both of whom were rested in midweek, return to the side.

Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) and Tom Cleverley (£4.8m), as well as Kabasele, are all among the substitutes after their run-outs against the Clarets.

Three of Watford’s fringe players, Andre Gray (£5.5m), Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.4m) and Domingos Quina (£4.3m), have all been omitted from the matchday squad amid rumours of a “lockdown party” hosted by Gray.

Ings has been transferred in by approximately 260,000 FPL managers since his double-digit haul in Gameweek 30+.

The striker is by some distance the most-owned player on show in today’s fixture and has been handed the armband by just over 75,000 Fantasy bosses.

Over one in five of the top 10,000 FPL managers own Ings, too.

The forward and Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m) were both on target in the reverse fixture back in November, with Hasenhuttl’s troops running out 2-1 winners.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenía, Cathcart, Dawson, Masina, Hughes, Capoue, Sarr, Doucoure, Pereyra, Deeney.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Smallbone, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Long, Ings.

    Shows how poor the standard outside the big teams in the PL is with Ings scoring 18 goals.

    He'll be in the England Euros squad and will flop. He is a finisher, but at the highest level you need more than just finishing ability. You got to have something special (pace / acceleration, a powerful leap, high levels of technique, insane movement etc).

    Doesn't help though when so many GKs are trying to be like Ederson with their distribution. Foster been done like this before - remember the goal Arsenal (Auba) scored when Foster was dallying on the ball. Foster isn't good enough now - age has caught up with him.
