We have won 8 of our last 10 home games against The Saints, losing in September 2003 and May 2016. Since returning to the EPL in 2012, Southampton have just won of their 12 EPL meetings with us (D2 L9), winning 2-1 at WHL in May 2016.
We have had three different hat-trick scorers in the EPL against Southampton (Steffen Iversen, Jemaine Defoe and Harry Kane). Only Arsenal vs Leicester and Man Utd vs Newcastle (4 each) have had more against a single opponent in the competition.
The Saints are winless in 12 games in all competitions since beating Crystal Palace 2-0 in September (D7 L5), their longest run since May to October 1998 (13). Since the start of last season, Southampton have dropped 33 points from winning positions in the EPL, at least 7 more than any other side.
We have scored a league high nine headed goals in the EPL this season. However, no team have conceded more headers than us (6). Kane has scored 6 goals in his last 5 EPL games against Southampton, including a hat-trick in the exact fixture last season. Dele Alli has had a hand in 8 goals in 5 EPL games against the Saints (5 goals 3 assists), more than he has vs any other side.
Stuart Armstrong has scored 3 goals in his last 2 league games for Southampton and could be come the 1st player to score in 3 consecutive EPL appearance for Saints since Manolo Gabbiadini in March 2017
