Did you know?

James Ward-Prowse is looking to score in four consecutive Premier League matches for the first time in his career. His opener for Southampton against Spurs last time out ended a run of 11 consecutive goals in the competition from either a penalty or direct free-kick situation.

While this is the first ever top-flight meeting between these clubs, Brentford have won their last two trips to Southampton in all competitions. Both victories have been by a 2-0 scoreline, in December 2010 (League One) and September 2020 (League Cup).

Southampton have lost just once at home in the Premier League this season (1-0 v Wolves) but have had more home draws than any other side in the competition, with six. Their last three home matches have finished level.

No team have scored more winning goals in the final 10 minutes of Premier League matches this season than Brentford, with three of the Bees’ six wins coming thanks to such goals.
