Southampton face a trip to Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 5 of the 42 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2005, the Whites carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
