WATFORD v SOUTHAMPTON Saturday 30th August 2025 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Kick Off 1500 BSTHaving taken over a squad that was largely devoid of confidence, Will Still can be content with the start that his Southampton players have made to the new season. Four points were collected from two games against Wrexham and Ipswich Town respectively, the Saints coming from behind to earn a point at Portman Road. However, Still witnessed Southampton fail to get the better of a Stoke City side last weekend that played the majority of the second half with 10 men, the visitors Southampton have now conceded just once in three away fixtures in all competitions under Still, while also netting in each of their five encounters. A 2-1 victory was posted against Queens Park Rangers before a 1-1 draw was earned at Swansea City, the Welsh side netting their equaliser eight minutes from full time. Nevertheless, given the upheaval over the summer, Pezzolano and his players will feel that the foundations are being laid ahead of a potential playoff push.
