Southampton vs Derby: match facts, form and head-to-head – 21 November 2026

Southampton host Derby in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Saints perched second on 14 points after four wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting an impressive 18‑8 goal difference. Derby, languishing at the foot of the table in 22nd place with just four points from one win, one draw and five defeats, have managed only six goals while conceding 13. The disparity in recent results suggests Southampton will look to extend their unbeaten run and tighten the gap at the top, whereas Derby will need a miracle to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two sides have rarely met this season, but the current numbers make the Saints clear favourites to secure three points.
