Southampton are ready to welcome Norwich City to St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 5 of the 42 games.
The previous match played between the two at St. Marys was within the last three years, in February 2003, with Southampton running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a F.A. Cup match.

Southampton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Saints have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Norwich City is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Canaries have hit 4 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Southampton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 28 points. Norwich City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 30 points from their 35 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Southampton at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saints will at least gain a draw. Score draw
