Southampton face a trip to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 15 out of 23 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2007, with Southampton inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The Blades in a Championship match.
