Southampton prepare to entertain Hull City at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 3 of the 23 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was just last season, in October 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
