Southampton host Queens Park Rangers at the St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday (August 26) in the Championship.
The hosts have enjoyed a good start to their league campaign as they seek an immediate return to the Premier League. Southampton beat newly promoted Plymouth Argyle 2-1 at the Home Park last weekend, with Nathan Tella and Che Adams getting on the scoresheet in the second half.
Southampton are fifth in the league table with seven points from three games.
QPR, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season, finding themselves in the bottom half of the league table. They lost 1-0 to newly promoted Ipswich Town in their last game, conceding after 15 minutes and squandering numerous scoring opportunities.
