The Southampton winger has been disappointing recently.

The FA Cup third round is synonymous with Premier League managers making many changes to their starting lineups, but one Southampton player will be especially determined to feature in tomorrow’s game away to Fulham.

Nathan Redmond is undoubtedly a very talented player but there is no question that the winger has been far from at his best for a struggling Southampton side this season.

Indeed, Redmond, having scored seven Premier League goals last season, has yet to find the net this campaign, while he has only provided three assists.

Redmond’s struggles have been such that he was booed by some Southampton supporters recently, and it is clear that the 23-year-old requires a boost to get himself out of his current predicament.

The game against Fulham could well be the opportunity he needs, as Redmond would surely relish the opportunity to make a major impact against the Championship side.

If he was to produce an encouraging performance and end his scoring drought then it would provide Redmond with a major confidence boost, which would be hugely beneficial for Southampton going into the remainder of the season.
