A Sky Bet Championship match between Southampton FC and league leaders Swansea City at St Mary's Stadium.
Southampton FC take on league leaders Swansea City at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday 8 September, a mid-week Sky Bet Championship clash under the floodlights. It's early-season action between two competitive sides battling for crucial league points and promotion, and with Swansea currently sitting top of the table, there's plenty on the line for both.
The two sides have a long history, with 76 meetings between them: the Saints have won 39, there have been 17 draws, and Swansea have come away with 20. When they last met in April 2026, Southampton won 2-1, with Shea Charles and Cameron Archer providing the goals. Saints manager Tonda Eckert recalled playing Swansea last year and said the side at St Mary's has been very positive, while Swansea boss Vítor Matos highlighted the need to protect their defensive record.
On the pitch, a few names to watch. Cyle Larin is the Saints' top scorer with five goals, and Finn Azaz has started the season strongly, taking part in five of the team's 11 goals. The Saints are expected to take the field in their red and white striped home shirts with black shorts and black socks.
