The bottom two clubs in the Premier League face one another at St. Mary’s in the evening kick-off, as Southampton entertain Watford.

Kick-off on the south coast is at 17:30 GMT.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes one enforced change to the Southampton side that drew 2-2 with Arsenal last weekend.

Moussa Djenepo is promoted to the starting XI in place of Stuart Armstrong, who is ruled out with a hamstring problem.

Sofiane Boufal makes the bench, having stubbed his toe in midweek.

Quique Sanchez Flores has made two changes to the Watford team that lost 3-0 at home to Burnley.

Left-back Adam Masina looks like he is filling in at centre-half as he replaces the injured Craig Dawson in defence, while Ismaila Sarr comes in for striker Andre Gray up top.

Roberto Pereyra has overcome a thigh strain but is only among the substitutes, as is Troy Deeney.

Not a single player on show this evening can boast a double-digit ownership.

Danny Ings is the most-owned player involved in tonight’s game, sitting in 6.5% of Fantasy Premier League squads.

Ings has scored five goals in the last seven Gameweeks, picking up nine bonus points along the way.

The Saints haven’t won since September, however.

Watford have kept clean sheets in three of the last six Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Obafemi, Ings.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Masina, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Sarr.

    Son or Alli?

    Alli looks more like the goal-scorer, with Sonny a creator?

    (Not just saying that based on today's returns. Heatmap. Expected values.)

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Going Alli only because of value.
      1m plus to bolster 5th midfielder for x mas fixtures.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Cramming in both.

    3. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Another day son could've had two. I feel more confident son will play every game and his all round game should probably edge it

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Looks like Alli Son and Kane are all the main men. Mourinho is not know to rotate as long as his preferred players play well.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sure, but Son could be in for some goals too. I think both are solid choices, but throughout their careers, SON is the real consistent player every season.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Can't deny that.

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      As an owner of both, I think alli will score more under mour

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Good day for you!

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 FTs, wanna do Pope to Henderson with one and would you keep the other one?

    Been thinking about KDB to Spurs mid but probably should keep for Burnley, the only other option would be Auba out but hope he performed tomorrow.

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years

  5. Railwayman
    • 13 Years

    England in an all Slavic group 😀

  6. NABIL - FPL otai

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dodgy ankle means that will happen a lot. Preserving him as much as possible

  7. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years

    Brasil and Argentina didnt even qualify for Euro

    1. Brosstan

      We are playing a Proof Of Concept?

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Winner of group D faces the runner up of group F.

      So winning it would be bad.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Spain Sweden Poland and Ireland.if Ireland get through.

    1. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Or Bosnia, if Bosnia goes through 😀 Even I don't think my country can win those 2 matches, very poor form and we sacked the manager 2 days ago...

  14. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Watford goal

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Poo poo assist I think.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      None, Stephens touch deemed crucial.

  16. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    When you realise you own a Southampton forward somehow.....

    1. Party time
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Oh man... I really need Ings to haul tonight

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Who is Sarr? Ings assist?

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm laughing

    3. Ógie

      Sarr owners unite........

          Sounds like something you would have read in the Anne & Barry books. 😛

    4. Fpl Richie

      Who are people likely to captain midweek?
      Looking like Vardy again and he's not even played!

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm captaining Vardy until February mate

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Barring a Vardy red the armband is glued on.

      3. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy or Sterling, probably V.

    5. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sarr is a big differential

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      wtf @ group f

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Always slow Bemba

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        1st/2nd meet England group in 2nd round 😀

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I actually like this. People can't say we got an easy route if we make it past round of 16.

          The sad England haters are gonna need a new excuse.

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Big pressure to step up!

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          If England win the group, they face the runners up of group F.

          If they come 2nd they play the winner of group E.

          So not necessarily.

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            My bad, of course they make it even more confusing. Cheers.

        *OMG

    7. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on the following for a -4?

      Nakamba & Tammy ——> Greenwood & Alli (already have Son)

    8. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ings being crap as usual.

    9. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      So are those with double pool defence dropping one ASAP?

      (With Alisson out)

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        No spare transfer..
        Would need to sell Pope first...

        Can still rely on Assists

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Everton don't score many goals.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Lovren responsible for conceding a few though.

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think it makes sense to do so before GW18 now.

        Yes it might be stubborn to hold but are they worth transfers out? Unless you need to free up cash.

    10. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Salah has to doesn’t he?

      My word the cash it would leave is amazing what i could do

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        No, Salah outscored Mane today

    11. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Is it worth getting Alli before man utd away? Or just keep Martial?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I tjink so

        Mour will bring a bus

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Have you seen us defend? We dont even have a Ford transit.

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          How many gold have Spurs conceded in his first 3 games ? Hardly watertight.

    12. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sarr close

    13. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      1. Dendonker + Abraham to Mosset + Zaha for a hit (benching headaches)
      2. Pope to Henderson for free
      3. Anything else

    14. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      "it's been 25 minutes and I don't think Danny ings has had the ball in and around his feet"

      IN HIS FEET

      someone needs to start of list of things Andy Townsend thinks can go in something else that can't.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
