Southampton will look to build Taraftarium24 on their win over Chelsea in their bid to leapfrog second last Leeds United when they set foot in Saturday's Premier League battle at Elland Road.
The hosts haven't won a league game since beating Liverpool and Bournemouth ahead of the World Cup break. With new boss Javi Gracia doubtful to sit in the dugout over work permit issues, Leeds come into the match on the back of a 1-0 loss at Everton.
Whereas the Saints will continue under newly appointed head coach Ruben Selles following the exit of Nathan Jones, and after beating Chelsea by a solitary goal in the Blues' own backyard last weekend.
