1. Ronald Koeman's Southampton have enjoyed a super 'yeng' start to the campaign, with only Chelsea and Manchester City above them in the table
2. Koeman is still without Jay Rodriguez, James Ward-Prowse, Maya Yoshida and Sam Gallacher, but saw the rest of his squad return unscathed from their international exploits. Why so many injuries wan?
3. Sunderland are unbeaten in eight games against Southampton, who themselves have not lost in five home matches. Damn power.
4. Graziano Pelle, who scored his first Italy goal to earn a narrow win in Malta, will continue to lead the Saints line and could be supported by Shane 'Panjang' (Long)
5. Sunderland has been boosted by John O'Shea's decision to sign a two-year contract extension. He scored a dramatic last-gasp equaliser for the Republic of Ireland against Germany just last week. The power of the Irish!
