The first half of the game at St. Mary's Stadium ended with no goals as both teams struggled to score in a 45-minute period filled with half-chances. Southampton looked confident in possession in front of their home fans, but they often lacked the final pass in the attacking third. Nottingham Forest showed moments of goal-scoring potential through Chris Wood and new defender Nikola Milenkovic during set-pieces. Milenkovic had the best opportunity of the game when he missed a chance after Wood's low cross. Southampton's goalkeeper McCarthy was almost caught out by Forest's high press. However, Forest will need to improve their attacking decision-making in the second half as shown by Gibbs-White's questionable choices on the counter-attack.

Despite Southampton's belief in their ability to keep the ball, they will likely try to include Brereton-Diaz in their plays whenever possible. It's worth noting that Brereton-Diaz has not been able to secure a victory in any of his 15 Premier League appearances (with 4 draws and 11 losses). This puts him in a list of players with the most matches played without a win in Premier League history, with only Marvin Sordell (17 games) and Emanuel Villa (16) ahead of him.
