Aaron Ramsdale will be happiest Southampton player heading into a Wolves meeting | OneFootball

Aaron Ramsdale has always been Southampton's trusted player before any must-win match. Another such challenge awaits on the weekend but a weakened Wolves front three will relax Ramsdale pre-match.

After a long wait, football is finally returning to St. Mary's. Tell me, how thrilled you are knowing this?

Well, I get it that this shouldn't even be a question in the first place. After all, excitement already seems drying out among the Southampton fans.

This lacking enthusiasm often affects the starting players before taking the field. Yet, there's one man who will be unfazed with all the gloomy build up surrounding the tricky Wolves fixture.

That determined starter is Aaron Ramsdale. At first thought, the Premier League runner-up medallist should be constantly preparing to fare better in front of Wolves' cohesive attack.

Regardless, those concerns have diminished to a wide extent if not gone completely.

Southampton must get the better of a lacklustre Wolves attack

To begin with, the visitor's prolific forward Matheus Cunha can't participate against Southampton in any capacity. If you missed it, the flair striker is navigating his red card suspension which is not due to conclude before Saturday's full-time whistle.

To sweeten the circumstances even further, the rest of the Wolves frontmen haven't enjoyed a rich vein of form recently.

The likes of Jorgen Strand Larsen, Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-Chan are enduring a Premier League goal-drought which will spark a winning motivation in Ramsdale's mind. What remains unsure is whether he will be backed properly on this occasion.

There are countless instances where the 26-year-old has stood out only to be left disappointed with his colleague's errors. Plus, who knows when will be the next time Southampton gets a similar advantage going into a Premier League fixture?
