Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Watford. During that encounter they had 62% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 20 of their 21 home games this season.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Goalscorer Adam Armstrong will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Southampton.
Preston North End, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Norwich City will not have sat easily with the Preston North End squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Norwich City who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 8 goals netted in those 6 matches. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 4.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Milutin Osmajić will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
The Lilywhites will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Southampton.
Preston have failed to manage a victory in their last 3 encounters in the league against Southampton.
With only Juan Larios (Hamstring) and Ross Stewart (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Russell Martin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Ryan Lowe has a number of injury concerns in his Preston squad to contend with: Ryan Ledson (Knock), Liam Millar (Groin), Brad Potts (Knock) and Ben Whiteman (Leg)
