They have lost just one of nine league games (W5, D3, L1) since the start of February – that was a 1-0 defeat at Manchester City.

Peter Odemwingie has scored in three successive Premier League appearances for the first time since May 2011.

Their points tally of 48 is their highest after 32 top-flight matches since the 1984-85 season, when they eventually finished fifth.

Southampton have dropped more points from winning positions than any other team in the Premier League (18).

The only English player to have scored more Premier League goals than Jay Rodriguez (15) this season is Daniel Sturridge (20).
