Southampton prepare to entertain Colchester United at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 3 of the 13 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was just last season, in September 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Southampton's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Saints have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Colchester U.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The U's's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 7 against.
Southampton are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 4 points from their 6 games thus far. Colchester U.'s 10 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
