This was Southampton's first home league defeat against Stoke City since October 1980. As a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks on Paris the previous weekend, La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, was played before the start of this match. Premier League chief Richard Scudamore called it an act of “solidarity and remembrance” after the Paris attacks. Kick-off: 3.00pm

Comments:

League position: 8th This was Southampton's first defeat in their last seven Premier League games (won four). Graziano Pelle was booked in the third minute of added time in the second half. As this was his fifth yellow card of the season so far it meant he would be suspended for the next match.

Comments:

League position: 11th Stoke City had now kept five clean sheets in their last six Premier League games (including all of the last four away games) after conceding in each of their eight preceding Premier League games. The Potters had now won four of their last six Premier League games.
