Ralph Hasenhuttl has only managed one Southampton game since replacing Mark Hughes, but the Austrian will already know he has a big decision to make.

The Saints centre-backs have been questionable to say the least, and no one screams disaster at St Mary’s more than Jannik Vestergaard.

The 26-year-old was a hazard waiting to happen last weekend, exemplified on the 74th minute when he failed to complete a simple back pass and allowed Callum Paterson to score Cardiff’s decisive winner.

The Playmaker FC squad decided to wind-up some unsuspecting Brazil fans at the Emirates on Saturday night. Watch the hilarious results in the video below...

88-cap Japan international Maya Yoshida would have been sat on the bench in dismay that the Dane was on the pitch and he wasn’t. Yet Yoshida would hardly be the better option alongside talented youngster Jan Bednarek.

He may not have the full support of Saints’ followers, but Wesley Hoedt must be the man deployed next to Bednarek to keep Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette from scoring as Arsenal travel to the south coast on Sunday.

The Dutchman has not featured since the 3-2 defeat at Craven Cottage, when Claudio Ranieri won his first game in charge of Fulham, but Hasenhuttl must hand the 24-year-old his first appearance under his leadership.

In the past, Hoedt has been earmarked as a calamitous defender, who regularly made errors, but has the ability to change the game on Sunday in favour of the hosts.
