Head-to-Head


Leeds have a 47-28 advantage against Southampton in 97 meetings with 22 draws. 

Leeds Form


Leeds announced Javi Gracia as their new manager after a 1-0 loss at Everton on Saturday. The Whites were second best with 0.79 expected goals and conceded in the second half.

The defeat leaves Leeds winless in their last four in all competitions. A draw (2-2) and defeat (2-0) against Man United followed a 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest. 

Gracia’s side are 19th in the Premier League and two points from safety.

Leeds Injuries & Team News


Forward Luis Sinisterra, midfielder Marc Roca, defender Pascal Struijk are doubtful. 

Midfielder Adam Forshaw and forward Rodrigo are out.

Defenders Stuart Dallas and Maximilian Wöber are also out. 

Southampton Form


Ruben Selles was named interim manager of Southampton and he oversaw a 1-0 win at Chelsea on Saturday. James Ward-Prowse struck the winner late in the first half.

The win ended a three-match losing streak in the Premier League. Defeats came against Wolves (2-1), Brentford (3-0) and Aston Villa (1-0). 

The Saints are bottom of the Premier League after just three wins in their last 18.  

Southampton Injuries & Team News


Forward Che Adams should be in contention after a recent knock.

Defenders Juan Larios and Valentino Livramento and forward Stuart Armstrong are out. 

Verdict

Leeds and Southampton will want to keep things tight to avoid falling further behind in the standings. Both sides will also want to perform for their new managers and a draw is likely.
