Southampton are hoping to drag themselves off the foot of the Premier League table when they face a tricky trip to Europe-chasing Brentford.
Saints suffered a painful League Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle United in midweek, losing the second leg 2-1 for a 3-1 aggregate loss, and now must turn their attention back to league matters.
Nathan Jones’ side mustered a win at Everton in mid-January, but those were the only points they have picked up in their last eight Premier League games, leaving them bottom.
Brentford sit eighth, one point outside the top six, and they have had a couple of weeks off ahead of this game due to their early elimination from the FA Cup.
Thomas Franks’ side head into this on the back of an eight-match undefeated run in the league.
Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and BT Sport are the two main players once again, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2022/23.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing even more than the 175 games it aired last season. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game.
