Pick of the stats: Southampton v Swansea City
- Published
This is a meeting of two of the in-form sides in the Championship on Tuesday (19:45 BST).
Swansea City head to the south coast at the top of the table and unbeaten from their opening five games while Southampton have not lost in their past four outings after an opening-day defeat by Watford.
Southampton have won six of their past seven meetings with Swansea City in all competitions (D1), and have not lost to the Swans since January 2017 in the Premier League (1-2).
Swansea have won just one of their past 16 league visits to Southampton (D4 L11), a 1-0 Premier League win in February 2015. The Swans have not scored in any of their past four league games at St Mary's.
Since Tonda Eckert's first home league game in charge (8 November 2025), Southampton have more home points in the Championship than any other side (44).
Swansea are hoping to win each of their first three away games of a league season for the very first time in their history.
Southampton have lost only one of their past nine Championship games against Welsh clubs (W6 D2), a 2-1 defeat by Cardiff in April 2024. At home, the Saints are unbeaten in 19 games against Welsh sides in the second tier (W14 D5) since a 5-3 loss to Cardiff in October 1962.
