Referee David Coote will officiate his 54th Premier League game at St Mary's on Saturday.

Since making his Premier League debut, Coote has not once shown a player a straight red, though he has dispensed on average three yellow cards per game.

The Nottinghamshire referee was the man in the middle for five Leeds United games last season, overseeing both defeats to Wolves and the Whites' 3-0 loss to Spurs before taking charge for a win at Fulham and Leeds' 3-1 victory over West Brom on the final day of the season.
