Watford take on Southampton at Vicarage Road this afternoon in the Premier League.

Watford are in need of points to aid their survival and fight, and know that victory could go a long way to staving off relegation.

The Hornets are without a win since the Premier League’s return, having drawn with Leicester and lost at Burnley.

Saints are all but safe and are looking upwards, with a top-half finish still within their grasp should they go on a strong run of results.

They are looking to get back to winning ways after a 2-0 defeat by Arsenal last time out.
