Brighton & Hove Albion have won only one of their nine Premier League matches against Southampton (D5 L3) and are yet to beat Saints at home in the competition (D1 L3).

Five of the 21 Premier League goals scored in meetings between Brighton and Southampton have been penalties (24 per cent). Of all fixtures to have had at least 20 goals scored in the competition, this is the highest ratio to have spot-kicks goals.

Southampton have won each of their last three Premier League matches at Brighton. They are looking to win four consecutive top-flight away trips to an opponent for the first time in their history.

Brighton have won 36 per cent of their Premier League matches played on Sunday (10 out of 28), and are unbeaten in such fixtures this season (W3 D1). Only on Fridays (50 per cent; 3/6) do Brighton have a higher win rate on a specific day of the week.
