Southampton will host Swansea City at Saint Mary's Stadium on Saturday in the 10th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both teams will be looking to put up solid performances and push higher up the league table on their return from the international break.
Southampton shared the points with Derby County in a 1-1 draw in their last outing, marking their fifth league draw of the season and leaving this weekend's hosts in 17th place. The Saints have struggled to get going in the English second tier following their relegation from the Premier League last campaign but will remain optimistic to put together a solid run of results in the coming weeks.
Swansea City have only one more point than their hosts but are five places clear in the league table and will be looking to get a result that could see them move into the promotion playoff places early in the season. The Swans failed to take advantage of their chances and were punished for it in their 3-1 home defeat to Leicester City just before the break. They will be keen to return to winning ways on Saturday.
