Southampton have lost just one of their six Premier League away games against Brighton (W3 D2), though it was a 3-1 loss in their last such visit in May 2023. Southampton have scored in all 12 of their Premier League games against Brighton – it’s the most they’ve faced an opponent while scoring every time in the competition, while Brighton have only faced Man City (15) more without keeping a clean sheet. Southampton have lost just one of their last seven Premier League games played on a Friday (W4 D2), going down 1-0 at Aston Villa in September 2022. This follows a run of four straight defeats on Friday games, a run which culminated in a 9-0 home loss to Leicester City in October 2019. Brighton have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in September 2023. The Seagulls are also unbeaten in all six of their home league games this term (W3 D3), their longest such run from the start of a campaign since 2015-16 (10 in the Championship). Brighton are the only team to be unbeaten when conceding the first goal in Premier League games this season (W2 D2). Meanwhile, Southampton have gone on to lose all eight games in which they’ve conceded first, with only Nottingham Forest also having a 100% loss rate (2/2). As well as being the only side without a point on the road so far in the Premier League this season, Southampton have scored the fewest goals (3) and have the lowest shot conversion rate (4. 4%) away from home of any side. Southampton have lost each of their last nine Premier League away games – only once have they lost 10 in a row on the road in the top-flight, doing so between December 1973 and April 1974. The last side to lose 10 in a row in the Premier League were Aston Villa (February 2016 to September 2019). João Pedro has been involved in six goals in his last five Premier League appearances, scoring four and assisting two. With goals and assists against both Man City and Bournemouth, he’s become the first Brighton player to both score and assist a goal in consecutive Premier League matches. Southampton’s Adam Lallana has made 299 Premier League appearances; if he plays against former side Brighton in this game, he would be the oldest outfielder to make 300 in the competition (36y 203d) since Denis Irwin in August 2003 (37y 303d). © 2024 BBC.
