  • Southampton have lost only one of their last 14 home matches against Cardiff in all competitions (W10 D3), although that defeat came in their last such meeting in April 2014 in the Premier League.
  • Cardiff have won two of their three Premier League games against Southampton (L1), only versus Fulham (3) have they won more in the competition.
  • Cardiff are looking to record three consecutive victories against Southampton in all competitions for the first time since March 1963.
  • Southampton are unbeaten in five Premier League games (W2 D3), last having a longer such run between April-August 2016 (7).
  • Southampton have both scored (11) and conceded (12) in each of their last seven home league games.
  • Following their win against Bournemouth last time out, Cardiff are looking to win consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since April 1962.
  • Cardiff are the lowest away scorers in the Premier League this season (7 goals), while only Fulham (2) have picked up fewer points on the road than the Bluebirds (W1 D2 L9).
  • Cardiff’s last five away goals in the Premier League have come in the 80th minute or later, with three of them coming in the 90th minute.
  • Just one of Southampton’s five Premier League wins this season have been against sides starting the day below them (3-1 vs Huddersfield). Indeed, their other four victories have been against sides starting the day in the top half of the table.
  • All five of Nathan Redmond's Premier League goal involvements for Southampton this season have come under Ralph Hasenhüttl, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 10 appearances (after none in 15 games before that this term).

Watford v Everton

Marco Silva and Claude Puel head the betting in the Sack Race

The Marco Silva derby. Everton’s manager returns to another former club and he is not expected to get the best reception.

After a good start to life in the Hornets hotseat in 2017/18, speculation linking him with the vacancy at Everton and an apparent interest in speaking to the Merseysiders derailed their season and ultimately cost the Portuguese manager his job at Vicarage Road.

His role at Goodison Park has recently been questioned, but owner Farhad Moshiri has thrown his support behind Silva with the belief he can turn it around in the long term.

Troy Deeney’s comments at a fans’ forum this week were particularly interesting, especially his thoughts on Saturday’s clash: “The people at Everton are fantastic. Not the manager.

“We'd prefer it if you (the fans) left him alone...it'll only motivate them more. Leave him alone, let us kick the s*** out of them.”

Everton have won just two Premier League games in 2019 and sit ninth in the table, but a clash against eighth-placed Watford is an opportunity to get back on track.

They lost 2-0 v Man City in midweek, with Gabriel Jesus scoring the second deep into added time, and there is no reason why they cannot get a result here after resting the likes of Seamus Coleman, Gylfi Sigurdsson and former Watford man Richarlison in midweek.

The Brazilian scored in the reverse fixture in December, months after leaving Hertfordshire in a big-money deal, and is 4/1 in a score-and-win double, but the preference is to go with Everton to win and BTTS at 5/1.

Javi Gracia’s side have not won in their last three in the Premier League and have conceded 18 goals in 12 games at home this term. Their last three defeats have all been 2-1 scorelines and the Toffees can grind out a valuable, and much needed, away win from a game where goals are expected.

Score prediction: Watford 1-2 Everton ()
