Southampton will invite Brentford to the St. Mary's Stadium in their upcoming Premier League fixture on Saturday.
The hosts have endured mixed results in their campaign thus far and after an impressive 2-1 win over Chelsea last month, they fell to a 1-0 loss in their away game at Wolverhampton Wanderers last week.
Brentford are undefeated in their last three league games and returned to winning ways with an impressive 5-2 win over Leeds United last time around. In-form striker Ivan Toney scored a hat-trick, while Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa added late goals.
Brentford's only defeat this term came in their away game at Fulham last month, so Southampton, who defeated Chelsea in their previous home game, will be hoping to put in a solid display here.

The Saints have failed to score in two of their last three games and might struggle to earn a win here. Given the form of the two teams, the game should end in a narrow win for the visitors.
