Premier League: Watford v Southampton betting preview, tip and TV details

7.45pm Tuesday

Southampton have claimed the scalps of Tottenham, Wolves, Everton and Leicester since the turn of the year but could have their work cut out against Watford at Vicarage Road.

Javi Gracia's men are adept at taming lowly opposition, winning nine and losing only two of their 18 meetings with sides currently in the Premier League bottom half this campaign.

Gerard Deulofeu's brace on Saturday demonstrated that the Hertfordshire side have plenty of attacking quality without skipper Troy Deeney and they can see off the Saints, who lost to Newcastle last time out.

Recommendation
Watford
2pts 5-4 general

Team news
Watford
Troy Deeney serves the second game of his three-match suspension and Roberto Pereyra (hip) is a doubt.

Southampton
Mario Lemina could feature again but Jannik Vestergaard is doubtful.

Key stat
Southampton have won only four of their 17 away matches in the league.
