The go-to keeper this week has got to be the gargantuan Fraser Forster as Southampton play Swansea at St. Mary’s.

Last season, Southampton were a fantastic defensive team. They’ve yet to keep a clean sheet this term, but a home match against the Swans could change that. If nothing else, this game should tell you if you’re able to trust Forster and Southampton defenders, like Virgil van Dijk, going forward this year.

For those fearing a European hangover, I’d say the opposite. The Premier League campaign hasn’t much gotten up to the standards they figured it to, but a 3-0 thrashing of Sparta Prague alleviates the tension and should get So’ton back in form.
