Match Facts
Southampton and Blackburn haven’t faced each other in a league match since April 2005 in the Premier League, a 3-0 win for Rovers at Ewood Park.
Blackburn Rovers have won just one of their last 19 away league matches against Southampton (D5 L13), a 2-1 victory in November 2001 under Graeme Souness.
Southampton are aiming to win five straight home league games for the first time since November 2014 under Ronald Koeman in the Premier League.
Blackburn’s four-game winning run on the road in the league came to an end against Sheffield Wednesday (3-1 defeat), conceding as many goals in that game as in their previous five such games.
Adam Armstrong has been involved in 12 goals in his last 11 home league games for Southampton (10 goals, 2 assists), netting a brace in his last such game against Cardiff.
