Leeds United - v - Southampton ***Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

TEAM NEWS

Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford could miss the rest of the season because of the foot injury sustained during the*last-gasp win*at Wolves.

Captain Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha should all be available.

Southampton have no new injury concerns, while Will Smallbone and Orio Romeu have both recovered from illness.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Leeds have lost just one of their 13 Premier League home games against Southampton (W7, D5), a 1-0 defeat in February 1998.

Southampton can complete the league double over Leeds for the first time in the top flight since 1982.

Saints have only managed three goals in their 13 Premier League matches at Elland Road. They were scored by Kerry Dixon in 1993, David Hirst in 1998 and Fabrice Fernandes in 2002.

Southampton's most recent victory at Leeds was by 1-0 in the Championship in March 2012.

Leeds United

They have won their past two league matches via 90th-minute goals, following a run of seven defeats in the previous eight. No Premier League team has ever scored 90th-minute winners in three successive fixtures.

Leeds have scored six league goals in second-half stoppage time this season, the most of any team. Those goals were worth eight points.

The Whites can win three successive Premier League games for the first time since triumphing in their final four league fixtures of last season, including a 2-0 victory at Southampton.

Leeds' tally of 15 league defeats already equals their final total from last season.

They have lost seven of their 15 Premier League home matches this season - only in 1995-96 (8) and 2002-03 (9) have they lost more at Elland Road in a single campaign in the division.

Their run of 16 consecutive league fixtures without a clean sheet is currently the longest of any top-flight team.

Southampton

Southampton have lost three successive Premier League games, following a run of two defeats in the previous 13.

They can lose five successive matches in all competitions for the first time since November to December 2014 under Ronald Koeman.

Saints have dropped a league-high 23 points from winning positions in this campaign.

They have won just three of their 14 Premier League away fixtures this season.Southampton have conceded multiple goals in 11 Premier League away games in 2021-22, more than any other club.

James Ward-Prowse is one short of becoming the second person to record 100 Premier League wins with Southampton, emulating Jason Dodd (105).

Armando Broja could become the first Southampton player to score home and away against Leeds in the same league campaign since Paul Rideout in 1990-91.

2 - 0.

MOT.

Let’s hope that the saying that things come in threes holds true and we pick up another three points with that third win on the bounce👍

Hey you guys.
Believe this is Jesses first real chance to stamp his mark on the team and produce a sample of the future style of play.
Previously he’s been filtering with Bielsas methods but now he’s had two solid weeks to work with the team.
Expecting a change and 3 pts at home.

MOT forever in blue jeans.

Decided to stick with the old guard then - Calamity Coops back - but not Phillips, Three wingers up front but no Joffy...
Best bench for ages, but if Saints play as they can could be another tough game

Liverpool struggled against Watford but got the points - that will be no easy game next week for us eiher

Just get at least a point today - cant see Burnley or Norwich getting anything, and Everton have a tough one tomorrow

everything crossed!!
