Match Facts
Watford won 2-1 against Southampton in their last league meeting – the Hornets haven’t won consecutive games against the Saints since a run of five between 2005 and 2008.
Southampton are unbeaten in their last eight league visits to Watford (W4 D4), winning each of their last two at Vicarage Road.
Watford are aiming to win three consecutive league games for the first time since November 2022 under Slaven Bilic.
Southampton have won each of their last two league games without conceding; the Saints last went three league games without conceding in January 2021 as a Premier League side.
Only three of Adam Armstrong’s 12 Championship goals for Southampton this season have come on the road, though could score in successive away league games in the competition in the same campaign for the first time since September 2020 (run of three).
