Watford v Southampton live stream, Sky Sports, Saturday 30 October, 3pm
Watford will be looking to build on their sensational victory over Everton when they welcome Southampton to Vicarage Road on Saturday.
The Hornets twice fell behind at Goodison Park last weekend, but an extraordinary denouement to the game meant they were celebrating a 5-2 victory at full-time. Watford became the first team in Premier League history to win a match by three goals despite being behind after 75 minutes. Everton completely fell apart late on, but Claudio Ranieri’s side deserve credit for the character and quality they showed in the closing stages.
The veteran Italian will now be looking to build on that win when Southampton come to town. Victory here would see Watford move into mid-table, while it would also help to further erase memories of their recent 5-0 shellacking by Liverpool.
Southampton are currently two points behind Watford, which means a win in Hertfordshire would see them leapfrog their opponents in the table. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s charges have emerged triumphant in only one of their nine games to date, but the fact they have drawn five matches shows they can be difficult to play against.
Still, Hasenhuttl will be desperate for another victory this weekend as he seeks to pull the Saints clear of the bottom three.
Emmanuel Dennis has already picked up five yellow cards this season, so the summer signing will sit this one out. Watford will also be unable to call upon the services of Christian Kabasele and Peter Etebo, but Danny Rose has been passed fit to feature. Kiko Femenia and Francisco Sierralta will need to be assessed in the run-up to kick-off.
Southampton’s in-form striker Armando Broja will require a fitness test after sustaining an ankle knock last weekend. James Ward-Prowse is back after suspension and Mohamed Elyounoussi is fit to start, but Jack Stephens remains sidelined with a knee problem.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST on Saturday 30 October. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
