Southampton visit Stoke City in the Premier League this weekend, with both sides making rather underwhelming starts to the season.
Mark Hughes’ side, who sit 16th in the table, come into this game fresh off the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea last week.
Southampton lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United last time out in the league, but after a solid second-half performance, the Saints will be looking to maintain their form.
The last time Saints played at the Bet365 Stadium, the match ended in a goalless draw, with a wasteful Saints dominating for large periods.
In what was Mark Hughes 400th managerial appearance in the top-flight, Stoke talisman Marko Arnautovic was sent off in the 23rd minute for a wild lunge on Sofiane Boufal.
Jay Rodriguez and James Ward-Prowse went the closest for Saints, but nothing materialised as the away side took a precious point back to the South Coast, with some fans wondering what could have been if Saints had taken their chances.
Southampton will be hoping to carry on their dominant displays into this fixture and get their season back on track.
