Match Facts
Southampton are hosting Middlesbrough for a league game for the first time since December 2016 under Claude Puel, winning 1-0.
Middlesbrough are looking to complete a league double over Southampton for the first time since the 2003-04 Premier League season.
This is Southampton’s first league game on Good Friday since April 2009, losing 3-0 to Wolves at Molineux under Mark Wotte.
Middlesbrough won their first away league game on Good Friday back in 1901 but have since won two of 33 away games on that day (D11 L20).
Southampton’s Adam Armstrong has been involved in 29 goals in the Championship this season (18 goals, 11 assists), the most of any player. The last Saints player with more league goals in a season was Danny Ings in 2019-20 (22).
