Redmond returns for Southampton as Fraser benched again

Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond (£6.3m) is back in the starting line-up following injury.

He returns to the side just as Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m) drops out with a knock of his own.

It looks as if Redmond will sit next to Sofiane Boufal (£5.5m) in a central attacking midfield duo behind centre-forward Che Adams (£5.7m).

The return of Kevin Danso (£4.5m) will also be welcome news for Ralph Hasenhüttl, who was forced into playing a back-three with Djenepo as a wing-back in the win over Sheffield United.

Visitors Bournemouth have gone with a 4-4-2 formation which features Ryan Fraser (£7.3m) on the bench for a second match running.

On the flanks of midfield are Josh King (£6.3m) and Harry Wilson (£6.0m) while Callum Wilson (£7.8m) and Dominic Solanke (£5.4m) lead the line.

Also of note is another start at left-back for Diego Rico (£4.1m), who offers better value compared to the likes of Nathan Aké (£4.9m) and Steve Cook (£5.0m).

Southampton XI (4-3-2-1): Gunn; Danso, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Cédric; Højbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse; Boufal, Redmond; Adams.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; Rico, Aké, S Cook, Stacey; J King, Lerma, Billing, H Wilson; Solanke, C Wilson.

    As soon as I bring Rico in he will get dropped

      He's always a risk, but thats what you get for 4m.

      Only becomes a real risk over xmas rotation season if you dont have a playing bench

      You need to cover him. 😉

      He's defending and ball retention have been lovely too.

      And don't get me started on his throw ins. 😉

    Friday night football at its best, a Rico assist clean sheet and bonus points and all for a 4.0m defender 🙂

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years

        They should form a club along with jorginho and milivojevic.

  10. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years

    Bmouth paid big money for Kelly too

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Paid almost as much for Rico especially considering the market has changed since last summer.

  11. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    i had Ake since the start and took him out for Rico this gw when wc lol

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        ah not bothered, rico value far better. Suspected Ake was gonna score soon tho (hence why I had to begin with). They just dont do CS is the fact of the matter, Rico is starting for me so thats good

  12. el polako

    I thought that this is a big game in the South, why fans are so quiet ?

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      theyre too polite in the south

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Us Saints fans dont consdier this a real derby, just BOU pushin themselves as "big rivals".

  16. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not a fan of Danso RB. Was okay-ish at LB vs United but a fish out of water at RB right now.
    Switch flanks with Cedric now.

    Rico taking long shots now too FFS. Needs a RC.

  18. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Rico has got a wand of a left foot, just made that ball disappear into the stand

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

  20. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Even though I benched Rico I'm happy he assisted. Helps him stay in the team.

    Also, Harry Wilson is doing so well I'm happy
