Southampton face a trip to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 3 of the 21 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League One match.
