League position: 17th Southampton ended a run of four games without a win. This was their second clean sheet in their last 18 games in the Premier League; also 0-0 at Chelsea on 2 January 2019. James Ward-Prowse had now scored three goals in his last four home games in the Premier League; one more than he scored in his previous 42 games.

Fulham had now lost eight of their last nine games in all competitions. They remained the only team yet to win an away game so far in this Premier League season (played 15, lost 13). Claudio Ranieri remained without a win in his last 23 away games in the Premier League; 15 for Leicester City and eight for Fulham.
