What 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.”![Mark Hughes’ side are struggling to put a run of results together](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/10/GettyImages-1042853918.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
