Impact It's a surprising move for The FA, to overturn Bednarek's red card and not David Luiz's, but that's sometimes how it goes. It's a huge boost for Southampton, who didn't really have anyone to take his place on the back line. He'll return to center-back Saturday alongside Jack Stephens.

Logs assist in win Bednarek provided one assist on his only chance created and made eight clearances en route to keeping a clean sheet in the 3-0 win over Sheffield United on Sunday.

Impact Bednarek likes to alternate matches when he puts up his best fantasy numbers but one thing that remains consistent is his place among the league's best in both clearances and interceptions.
