Southampton vs Watford: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction

Southampton and Watford go head to head in the Premier League this weekend, having both played in midweek in rearranged games that were previously postponed.

The Saints have suddenly lost twice in quick succession against Aston Villa and Newcastle, ending what had been a top run of form, although the visiting Hornets have generally found wins hard to come by all season and were beaten heavily on Thursday by Wolves.

It was Southampton who won the reverse of this fixture back in October thanks to a single first half goal from Che Adams.

Southampton vs Watford score prediction

Despite briefly steadying when Roy Hodgson arrived, Watford have started shipping goals at an alarming rate once more - seven in their last two games alone.

That gives a Southampton side that has typically been very good at home all season a great chance to put things right from their perspective after a sudden slump.

Prediction: Southampton 3-0 Watford
