Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Liverpool who sit 13 places above them in the table. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 15 attempts and 7 on target.
Manager Nathan Jones will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. 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. Jones will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 9 games in a row.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa will not have sat easily with the Brighton & Hove Albion squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they recorded 65% of the possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Roberto De Zerbi 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. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Leandro Trossard is the man of the moment at Brighton & Hove Albion right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Southampton will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Seagulls, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 10 meetings between the two.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Brighton hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
With only Tino Livramento (Cruciate ligament) and Kyle Walker-Peters (Muscle cramps) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Nathan Jones will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi ahead of this clash, with Jakub Moder (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives De Zerbi a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
