5 Southampton Players Who Newcastle Must Be Wary Of

2. Dusan Tadic

Dusan Tadic has recently said that he is getting back to his best after suffering from fatigue following his first season in the Premier League. Now, if we take the 8-0 win over Sunderland where he scored one and grabbed four assists as his "best", then Newcastle United could struggle to handle the 26-year-old.

The midfielder - who will line up against fellow countryman Aleksandar Mitrovic - on Sunday scored five goals and grabbed seven assists last season and is a constant threat going forward for the Saints.

Known for his pin-point free-kicks and set-pieces, Tadic has wonderful technique and a keen eye for a defence-splitting pass. He will be a constant nuisance for Jack Colback, who will have to track his every move as he attempts to get in behind and control the game.
