The Southampton squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Crystal Palace, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Crystal Palace managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at St. Mary's Stadium.  Ralph Hasenhüttl will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 8 games in a row.  

They've drawn their last 2 league games at St. Mary's Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.

In their last match Newcastle United enforced their superiority over Aston Villa with a 4-0 home win.  In that game they had 60% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Aston Villa who had 3 attempts and 0 on target.  

With 16 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 3 conceded, their manager Eddie Howe will be more than happy with his team's form of late.  When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.  With 6 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.  

Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.  

With 6 goals scored in Brentford's last 6 outings in the league, Miguel Almirón has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
