Southampton's recent run reads a bit stronger on paper: three wins, a draw and a single defeat in their last five league outings, including away wins at Norwich and West Ham.

Neither side looks fully settled, which points towards an unpredictable contest rather than a one-sided one.

Comparative Team Statistics: West Brom vs Southampton

Head-to-head

The last meeting between these two finished 1-1 at The Hawthorns back in March. Before that, Southampton won 3-2 at home in December, so recent meetings haven't favoured either side consistently.

Going further back the record is mixed across different competitions and seasons, so there's no obvious psychological edge for either club here.

League position

West Brom currently sit two places and three points above Southampton after the same number of games played. That's a narrow gap given Southampton's superior goal difference this season.

It suggests West Brom have been slightly more efficient at turning games into points, even if Southampton have scored and conceded at a healthier rate overall.

Players to watch

Cyle Larin has been in sharp form for Southampton, scoring seven goals in his last eight appearances, with Azaz also chipping in with four assists in that spell.

West Brom's own front-line threat, J. Morgan, has three goals and three assists across the same run, so he's the man most likely to trouble Southampton's back line.

On discipline, Diakité has picked up the most cautions for West Brom recently, something referees may be watching closely in a game that could get feisty.
