The Championship action just keeps coming thick and fast with another set of mid-week clashes on the agenda.
Southampton have an immediate chance to bounce back from their disappointing 1-1 draw with Lincoln City when facing Swansea City on Tuesday night, although it will be very difficult.
Indeed, Vitor Matos' men are currently sat top of the entire division on 11 points, having only conceded one goal across their three victories and two draws.
Boasting a fierce attack, too, that has both Adam Idah and Zan Vipotnik up top, with Ross Stewart unsurprisingly injured, Tonda Eckert's hosts will have to put in a seriously improved performance back on home soil to gain a positive result.
Yet, there are some good omens in Southampton's favour for this Tuesday night showdown under the St. Mary's floodlights, with Millwall put to the sword in late August when arriving to the South Coast in similarly glowing form.
Southampton will look to Millwall result for inspiration
When Alex Neil's men travelled to Southampton to round out August, they were on cloud nine.
Millwall hadn't given up a single goal across their opening two Championship victories, yet Eckert and Co. wiped the floor with them in an outrageous team performance.
Cyle Larin, Finn Azaz and Leo Scienza would all get in on the goalscoring action, alongside Tom Fellows, in a jaw-dropping 5-1 victory, with Swansea hopeful they won't be handed the same rude awakening, after such an encouraging start to the season.
Eckert also hasn't tasted the bitterness of a league defeat on home soil as Southampton manager since January, remarkably, so as much as the Saints need to play at the peak of their powers to win, Swansea will need to be purring to ruin this impressive record.
Looking at the head-to-head numbers, as well, the Saints should feel some slight confidence heading into his one, despite the stark difference in league position when scanning the Championship table.
They also have the head-to-head numbers in their favour
Amazingly, Southampton haven't lost across their last eight meetings with the Welsh giants.
The last time the Saints came unstuck up against the Swans was in the Premier League, all the way back in 2017, with Shane Long scoring the only goal for the away side that day at the Swansea.com stadium in a 2-1 defeat.
Southampton got their revenge in 2018, travelling back to Wales, when a Manolo Gabbiadini goal for the Saints - managed by Mark Hughes at the time - relegated the hosts to the Championship. They haven't returned to the big time since...
Even more crazily, Swansea haven't actually won on their travels to St. Mary's since 2015, with Jonjo Shelvey ending up as the unlikely match-winner on that occasion for the away team, who were managed by Garry Monk, who is somewhat of a forgotten figure now from the sidelines.
Of course, Swansea will just be looking to break this hoodoo, much like Eckert's unbelievable home record, but it it interesting that Southampton have had the upper-hand so many times over the years.
Last season, the Welsh visitors did manage to collect a 0-0 draw at St. Mary's, which seems to be a scoreline they're favouring this season, as seen in goalless games against Sheffield United, and more recently, Wrexham.
Another draw won't do for Southampton, playing in front of their home masses again, with this matchup one of the more tantalising matches to keep tabs on, from the Tuesday and Wednesday night fixture list.
