The Southampton and Bolton Wanderers club crests side by side

BBC Sport highlights some of the key stats and facts for the Championship match between Southampton and Bolton Wanderers.

Southampton and Bolton Wanderers meet in a league game on Saturday (15:00 BST) for the first time since April 2005 when both clubs were in the Premier League.

Since then Saints have been down to League One and back to the top flight while Bolton dropped into League Two for a season in 2020-21.

  • Southampton are winless in seven league meetings with Bolton (D5 L2), with this their first since a 1-1 draw in the Premier League in April 2005.

  • Bolton have won both of their past two league visits to Southampton (most recently 2-1 in August 2004), the only time they have won two in a row away to the Saints.

  • Southampton have spent 41.9% of their Championship matches this season in the lead – the highest percentage in the competition at present.

  • Bolton have won three of their past four league games (L1), as many victories as across their prior 16 matches beforehand combined.

  • Of the 645 players across the EFL this season to contest 50+ duels, Bolton's Chris Forino-Joseph currently possesses the strongest duel success rate among them all (79.3%).
