ON DEMAND: Saints ace Luke Shaw [GETTY]

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been tracking the England Under-21 ace with a view to a possible January raid.
The left-back, 18, has been dubbed the new Gareth Bale following his impressive displays this season. But Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino insists his prize asset dubbed the new Gareth Bale following his impressive displays this season.

But Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino insists his prize asset - who signed a new five-year deal at St Mary's in the summer - is not for sale at any price.
He said: "Clubs can show their interest - that is not something we can control. In this case, Luke Shaw is not a player we want to sell. He is not for sale."

Pochettino has also warned the rest of the Premier League they are yet to see the best of Saints' record signing Dani Osvaldo.

Italian international Osvaldo - a £15m summer buy from Roma - scored a superb solo goal to earn Pochettino's men a 1-1 draw against Manchester City last weekend.
And Pochettino, whose side travel to Newcastle tomorrow, said: "We believe Dani still has a big margin to improve.
"He is in the middle of that process of growing and adapting to this league.
"The goal he scored against City puts him on the right path, but he still has to learn, has to improve and he has to mature."
