Match Facts
This is Blackburn’s first home league match against Southampton since April 2005, winning 3-0 under Mark Hughes.
Southampton are looking to complete a league double over Blackburn Rovers for the first time since the 1951-52 campaign.
Blackburn have won just one of their last nine league games at Ewood Park (D5 L3), while they’re without a clean sheet in their previous 14 home league matches.
Southampton have lost two of their last four league games on the road (W2), as many as in their first 15 such games of the 2023-24 season combined (W8 D5).
None of Sammie Szmodics’ 23 Championship goals for Blackburn this season have come from the penalty spot; it’s the most goals by any player overall this season and the most in the competition without one being from the penalty spot since Ollie Watkins in 2019-20 (26).
