I've been saying this for a few seasons now....will we be playing Harry Wilson in a more central role - similar to his Wales position....he loves playing there and looks very comfortable

Unlikely given the rise of King. I'm not sure Wilson needs to start in the middle anyway, he makes runs into the middle from the right. Key thing is someone else providing the width on the right to allow Wilson the freedom to make those runs.

Yes, Wilson needs either a midfield or right back overlap to cut inside , so whoever has overlapped can pass or cross to him as he cuts in
The one thing I think Marco lacks sometimes is the bravery to change formations not only in each individual game but during games. Sometimes playing a 352 would allow Wilson to play off the CF or a 4141 which I think we ended up with at Southampton because we were so dominant in possession.
Wilson is way too lightweight to properly play in the middle in the PL. Yeah it works great against Liechtenstein but that ain't the PL. Starting outside on the right and drifting inside is his best role.
Josh King is the same size but far more stout and strong against being bodied. Wilson goes down on the lightest touch which is rarely a call you get in the middle of the pitch in the PL.
