Southampton and Watford will be aiming for three points at St Mary’s on Saturday after disappointing results last weekend.The hosts were crushed 6-1 by Manchester City and this week have trained at their own stadium as manager Mark Hughes tries desperately to turn their season around.
4What are the managers saying?
Mark Hughes (Southampton):“I’d be very disappointed if we didn’t go in with the attitude that this is a game that we’ll target to win. Our intention is to get maximum points.“We’re in a situation that people think we’re under a little bit of pressure, so we’ve got to use that as a motivation going into this game.“Watford are a good team, have had a good start, but we feel we’re more than capable of beating them.“This is a real opportunity now to start our season in earnest.”
