Brentford travel to take on Southampton at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 10 and win only 3 of the 18 games.
The last time the two teams met at Southampton was just over four years ago, in February 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a F.A. Cup match.
