Southampton welcome Stoke City to St. Mary’s Stadium this Saturday in Championship action.
The Saints kicked off the season in dramatic fashion, snatching a 2-1 win over Wrexham thanks to two late goals, before settling for a 1-1 draw with fellow relegated side Ipswich Town last weekend.
Stoke, under Mark Robins, have started the campaign perfectly. They opened with a 3-1 victory over Derby County and followed it up with an impressive 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday.
When these two sides last met, Southampton came out on top in a 3-2 thriller.
