Comments:

League position: 12th This was Southampton’s 400th home game in the Premier League (won 162, lost 125) and manager Ralph Hasenhüttl's 50th Premier League game in charge (won 18, lost 22). The Saints had now kept two clean sheets in their last four home games in the Premier League; as many as in their previous 28 games at St Mary's Stadium in the division. They had now won six of their last ten games in the Premier League (lost three).

Comments:

League position: 17th Aston Villa remained as the only team that had yet to keep a clean sheet in their away games so far in this Premier League season. Villa had now failed to keep a clean sheet in 21 consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since September 1989 in League Division One (38 games). They had now won two of their last 32 away games in the Premier League (lost 25).
