Newly installed Watford manager Claudio Ranieri bounced back from a disappointing defeat to Liverpool in his first match in charge with a remarkable victory away at Everton. The Hornets put five past the Toffees, including a hat-trick for striker Josh King against his former club. The Hertfordshire-based side will be looking to keep that goal-scoring form going against Southampton.
This fixture is especially important for Watford as they have a very tough run of matches to follow. After this game, their next five will be against Arsenal, Manchester United, Leicester City, Chelsea, and Manchester City. It's not inconceivable they'll take zero points from that run, so a victory over Southampton is crucial.
Expect the likes of winger Ismaila Sarr and anchoring midfielder Moussa Sissoko to be crucial if Ranieri's men are to take anything here. Although Watford will have to make do without Emmanuel Dennis as he's suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Peter Etebo, Christian Kabasele, and Danny Rose will also miss out due to injury.
Southampton will be disappointed with their start to the season. Sitting in 16th place with eight points, the side have put in performances that merit being further up the table. Frustrating draws to poor teams like Newcastle United and Burnley have cost them so far. They'll be looking to avoid the same outcome against Watford.
The side took reigning European Champions Chelsea all the way to penalties in a mid-week EFL Cup match, which may have boosted the confidence levels even if they were ultimately knocked out of the cup after losing the shootout.
Goals continue to be a real problem for the Saints: they've managed just eight in nine games. The situation in front of goal has been so bad that new forward signing Adam Armstrong was dropped to the bench against Burnley. At least the team's backline has been mostly solid, only conceding 12 goals, which is fewer than all but two of the teams in the bottom half of the table.
Here's how they line up:
Watford: Foster, Nkagia, Ekong, Cathcart, Masina, Sarr, Joao Pedro, Sissoko, Kucka, Hernandez, King.
Southampton: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Salisu, Livramento, Romeu, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Redmond, Adams.
