Watford return to Vicarage road when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Nigel Pearson’s Watford side still have plenty of work to do if they are to avoid relegation this season. The Hornets are a point and two places above the relegation zone and are among a cluster of teams battling for survival. Southampton meanwhile have lost their way in recent weeks with several disappointing results, however their progress made at the turn of the year helped distance themselves from the drop zone.

Ralph Hassenhuttl’s Southampton side won 3-0 against Norwich in their last away fixture in the Premier League and are priced at 9/5 on SkyBet to win this one.
