Impact Walker-Peters was back in the starting XI after falling to the bench and going unused in their past two games. He has now started five of the club's seven contests, notching a chance created, seven shots and eight crosses in the attack to go along with three interceptions, seven tackles and nine clearances in the defense in his 441 minutes of play.

Impact Walker-Peters led Southampton on Saturday with three shots attempted (one on target) as Southampton fell 1 - 0 to Nottingham Forest. During the previous Championship campaign in which Southampton earned promotion, Walker-Peters averaged less than one shot attempted per appearance (40 shots over 46 starting appearances).

Orchestrated plays but no assists Walker-Peters generated three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 1-0 loss versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Walker-Peters put in one of the better Southampton defensive performances on Thursday. The right-back orchestrated some of their more threatening moves from crosses and corners but failed to create a goalscoring opportunity. The regular starter has scored once and delivered just two clean sheets. It is unlikely he will improve his clean sheet statistics in the Saints next against Newcastle. The Magpies have won seven of their last eight and scored at least two goals in their winning games.
