West Bromwich Albion have lost five of their last six league matches against Southampton, winning the other 3-0 at home in April 2021.

This is Southampton’s first league visit to West Brom in the Championship since April 2008, when they drew 1-1 with Adam Lallana netting their goal.

West Bromwich Albion are unbeaten in their last 11 home league games played on a Friday (W7 D4) since losing 1-0 to Chelsea in May 2017, which secured the Blues the Premier League title.

Southampton’s 22-game unbeaten league run came to an end with a 3-1 loss at Bristol City. The Saints last suffered consecutive defeats earlier this season in September (four in a row).

Southampton have conceded three goals in each of their last two Championship games (5-3 vs Huddersfield, 1-3 vs Bristol City), conceding more in those games than in their previous 12 combined (5). The Saints haven’t shipped 3+ goals in three league games in a row outside the top-flight since September 1965.
