Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards are back with the latest Match of the Day: Top 10 podcast, and this week the debate centres around the greatest set-piece takers in the Premier League.

Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse is one of the players who makes the list of dead-ball specialists.

Alan Shearer (2nd): "Look at Ward-Prowse's free-kick a few weeks ago, it was unbelievable - and his delivery, too. That's why I've put him so high. If he keeps his form up to a month or two before the World Cup, he'll have a brilliant chance of going."

Micah Richards (4th): "And starting [for England] as well. I think he's got more than people give him credit for. Ward-Prowse is so consistent and so underrated. We talk about his free-kicks, but if you look at his all-round game, it's brilliant for Southampton. He's pretty much their best player every week."

Listen to the full podcast on BBC Sounds right now, and you'll be able to watch the best bits on BBC iPlayer from Friday morning
