Having steadied the ship with a 0-0 draw against Watford, Southampton will fancy their chances of bagging all three points at home to Norwich City this afternoon. The Canaries will have other ideas – they could make it two wins in succession on the road if they can consign the Saints to another defeat at St Mary’s Stadium.

While they’ve already conceded five goals this term, Southampton went into the weekend ranked sixth-bottom for shots conceded inside the box (19) so are hardly being comprehensively overrun. Nonetheless, a 4.4% conversion rate highlights their current paucity of quality in the final third – something they’ll need to rectify to bag their first home goal of the season.

Alex Neil’s outfit has been an offensive powerhouse in these early stages, tallying more attempts (55) and big chances (eight) than Manchester City. In fact, no team carded more attempts than Norwich (20) in Gameweek three, which should serve as a fair warning to Saints given the proficiency of their own attack.
