Southampton vs Newcastle

Southampton have lost six consecutive home league games for the first time in their history.

Newcastle United have won four consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since October 1996; indeed, only in October 1994 have they ever been on a longer such run in the competition (5 games).

Alexander Isak became the first Newcastle United player to score in five consecutive Premier League away appearances, overtaking Peter Beardsley's previous club record of four in December 1993.

Southampton have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games against Newcastle (D3 L9), losing each of the last four in a row.

Having won just one of their first 18 Premier League away games against Southampton (D5 L12), Newcastle have now won three of their last four visits to St Mary’s (L1).

Newcastle have lost just one of their last 23 Premier League games against promoted sides (W14 D8), going down 1-0 at Luton in December 2023. Since that defeat at Kenilworth Road, the Magpies have scored at least four goals in five of their six games against promoted clubs, winning the last five in a row.

Southampton have won just one of their last 35 Premier League games (D7 L27). When converting to three points for a win all time, Saints’ six points is the joint-second lowest after 22 top-flight games (level with Sheffield United in 1975-76), with only Bolton in 1902-03 ever having fewer at this stage (3).

Newcastle have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last winning four in a row on the road in September/October 1996.
