Southampton, Recent FormRussell Martin will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-0 away thrashing at the hands of Leicester City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Leicester City, who had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It's fair to say that Martin will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 21 of their 22 played at St. Mary's Stadium this season.
They have had a strong run of form at St. Mary's Stadium recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Ché Adams will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at St. Mary's Stadium, having notched up 5 goals for Southampton in their last 6 league matches at home.
Stoke City, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Stoke City racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Plymouth Argyle. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Plymouth Argyle, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
On an individual basis, Ki-Jana Hoever will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Stoke City's last 6 league games.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Southampton.
The Potters will be looking to extend their current run of 3 clean sheets at St. Mary's Stadium when they visit Southampton. Playing at home, Southampton have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Stoke. The Saints have struggled to break down the Stoke defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the league, Stoke have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium.
Southampton manager Russell Martin has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gavin Bazunu (Achilles tendon), Flynn Downes (Lack of fitness), Juan Larios (Hamstring) and Ross Stewart (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steven Schumacher has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Lynden Gooch (Muscle), Ryan Mmaee (Hamstring) and Ben Pearson (Muscle)
