Southampton prepare to entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 5 of the 29 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was just last season, in November 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
