The Preston danger-man out to derail Southampton and revive his dire side

Preston North End forward Callum Lang is highlighted as the primary threat capable of troubling Southampton during their Championship clash at Deepdale on Saturday. Rock-bottom Preston enter the fixture 21 points behind Tonda Eckert's side, having secured only one victory in their opening 14 league matches. Despite Preston's ongoing struggles under manager Graham Alexander, Lang remains the club's leading scorer this season with four goals.

Kelan Sarson argues that Lang will carry extra motivation against the Saints due to his past spell with their fierce rivals Portsmouth. Lang joined Preston in a reported £2 million move following a 10-goal campaign at Fratton Park, and the writer believes the striker will be determined to make an impact against Southampton goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.
