Brighton & Hove Albion added to relegation-threatened Southampton's woes with a 4-0 win at the St Mary's Stadium on Saturday, handing the Saints their eighth consecutive home defeat in the Premier League.

There does not seem much point talking about Southampton. I must say it every week but I could not think of anything worse than being a Saints fan at the moment, and I really feel for them. It is just sheer loyalty that is making them turn up for matches at the moment because they only get more misery when they do.

Improving Brighton will look to keep up their momentum in this all-south coast clash at St. Mary's against rock-bottom Southampton.  The visitors have bounced back well from their 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Nottingham Forest at the start of the month with back-to-back wins at home against Chelsea in the FA Cup and in the English Premier League.
