ALMOST A THIRD! Carrillo has been excellent today and he skips away on the right before chopping inside and thumping a powerful effort that flies wide of the far post!
90' +2
CEDRIC! After Romeu's attempt to drill a 20-yard shot at goal ends up going behind, he lays it off to Cedric. The Portuguese releases a wicked 30-yard shot that swings towards goal and is plucked down by a backtracking Gomes.
90'
We are going to have a minimum of four added minutes at St Mary's. Pellegrino is down on his haunches, staring at the turf.
88'
Richarlison pounces on a loose pass 30 yards out and looks to cut inside Stephens and shape for a shot on his right foot. The defender manages to get a touch and deny him the opportunity, and the Brazilian punches the ground in frustration.
87'
The Watford fans are cheering every touch of the ball now. They're confident they've got another victory wrapped up here.
86'
Tadic releases Bertrand with a clever flick and Carrillo chases the left-back all the way to the byline before sliding in and getting a foot to the ball, knocking it out for a corner which Gomes punches clear convincingly.
84'
T. Deeney enters the game and replaces A. Gray.
It's been a frustrating day for Gray, who makes way for Deeney in the closing stages.
83'
Long peels off Kabasele to find some space for a volley. The defender flings himself in front of him and the Saints striker skews wide.
82'
Silva is just under 10 minutes away from guiding a team to successive Premier League victories on the road in his career!
Minute
Description
80'
Saints are yet to have a shot on target, which is sure to bring more questions for Pellegrino. Watford dropping off has made things a bit more difficult, and some of the home fans already appear to be heading for the exit.
78'
Southampton are controlling possession now, with Watford seemingly content to sit back and soak up the pressure before trying to hit on the break. Cedric swings a cross into the box that Gomes flaps away. This could be dangerous for the visitors.
76'
Watford make another break, moving the ball well across to Janmaat on the right as they sweep forward. His delivery is met by Richarlison at the back post and the Brazilian's header is blocked.
74'
Saints fail to make the most of the free-kick and Watford look to hit on the break. Richarlison surges down the left and looks to find Gray, whose movement has been disappointing today and he is unable to get on the end of it.
73'
Holebas gives away one of the most pointless fouls you will ever see, shoving Long over right in front of the assistant referee! He even has the temerity to complain about it to the official.
71'
C. Austin enters the game and replaces S. Boufal.
Pellegrino has nothing to lose so throws on a second striker - Austin entering for Boufal.
70'
Cedric immediately looks to feed Long in behind with a curling pass around the back of the defence. However, the Republic of Ireland international went too early and is adjudged offside.
69'
S. Long enters the game and replaces M. Gabbiadini.
Gabbiadini has been starved of service today and his match comes to a frustrating end as he makes way for Long.
68'
Tadic has a chance to pull one back for Southampton, receiving possession on the edge of the box with Gomes rushing back to his line after coming out with an unconvincing punch. He doesn't pull the trigger and ends up spinning back and forth in the box before being tackled and losing it.
66'
D. Janmaat has scored a goal for Watford! Assist by T. Cleverley.
Cleverley may not be one of the tallest players on the pitch but his knock-down from Stephens' lofted clearance was crucial to Janmaat's goal.
GOOOOOOAAAAL!! WATFORD DOUBLE THEIR LEAD! Janmaat has only been on the pitch a few minutes and he makes it count with a cracking 25-yard drive that flies past Forster and into the bottom-left corner!
64'
Southampton look hopeful of pouncing with Watford unsettled at the back. Play is switched over to Cedric on the right and his delivery is deflected behind by the recovering Holebas. There are claims of handball against Stephens in the box but there was not much in it.
62'
D. Janmaat enters the game and replaces Kiko Femenía.
There's another defensive problem for Watford, with Femenia hobbling off. He is replaced by the capable Janmaat.
61'
A. Mariappa enters the game and replaces Y. Kaboul.
That's the end of Kaboul's match, with Mariappa coming on in his place.
60'
CHANCE FOR SAINTS! Stephens is found unmarked in the box by a flick-on and sees his swipe at the ball blocked by the stretching Kabasele. It runs across to Boufal and he can only find the side netting from a tight angle.
59'
Kaboul appears to have picked up a hamstring injury while chasing back, a blow for Watford with the centre-back only just getting back to fitness. He returns to his feet to jog into the box and help defend a corner.
58'
Holebas backs off Boufal as the Algerian runs at him, with Chalobah having to come across and try to help. Boufal checks inside the midfielder but lashes miles over from 25 yards!
57'
Boufal clips a ball back into the box after a left-wing free-kick is cleared by Watford, and Stephens goes down under a challenge from Kabasele as he tries to turn on the penalty spot. There was nothing in it and play is allowed to continue.
55'
WHAT A CHANCE! Holebas swings in a corner from the right that drops at the far post for Chalobah, whose diving header is kicked back into the danger area by Tadic. Kabasele pounces and blazes a wild effort away from the target rather than towards it!
53'
Southampton finally show a bit of energy and dynamism in the final third, getting Bertrand in behind on the left. He tries to curl a shot into the far corner and sees it blocked behind for a corner. Watford try to hit back and Gray edges Cedric out from under a long, high ball before a heavy touch sends it to Forster.
51'
Richarlison surges forward in an attempt to break, only to loose his footing and consequently possession. Redmond looks to launch a counter and is tripped by Holebas as he spins away from the Greece international, earning a free-kick near the half-way line.
49'
Doucoure gets a talking to from referee Probert for throwing the ball into the ground in anger after it ran out of play. The official gives him a talking to but keeps his cards in his pocket.
47'
Richarlison and Gray work the ball inside from the left brilliantly, teeing up Chalobah for a shot at goal. He is running across the pitch as he strikes it and is only able to send a tame effort bouncing into Forster's arms.
46'
D. Tadić enters the game and replaces J. Ward-Prowse.
Ward-Prowse is the man replaced by Tadic for the second 45.
We've kicked off!
45' +1
We are into the first and only minute of additional time.
There is the half-time whistle and it is met with a number of boos!
45'
Doucoure has a chance to get his second after a brilliant move down the left from Watford but miscues from 20 yards and sends his effort flying over.
44'
Watford look exceptionally well-drilled when out of possession. They are forming two solid banks and making it extremely difficult for Southampton to break through.
42'
SO CLOSE! Richarlison spins inside and releases a shot that slams into the side netting with Forster at full stretch. It looks like a deflection off Stephens steered it away from the target, so the visitors get a corner.
40'
You can only hear the Watford fans inside St Mary's now! Southampton's issues in front of goal appear to be continuing.
38'
A. Doucouré has scored a goal for Watford! Assist by Kiko Femenía.
It looks like a slight touch from Femenia helped Doucoure keep it a Watford ball on the edge of the box, and the Frenchman took full advantage.
GOOOOOOAAAL!! DOUCOURE NETS A STUNNER! A long throw-in is only half-cleared by Stephens and the midfielder manages to keep it alive 20 yards out before unleashing a brilliant strike that beats Forster low to his left! It's a deserved lead for Watford.
37'
Southampton get a free-kick in a central area 35 yards out and Ward-Prowse fires in an excellent delivery. Kabasele gets his head on it but can only loop the ball up into the air. Gomes watches it all the way and is able to collect it without much of a challenge on him.
35'
Boufal looks to get free down the right but Chalobah keeps him in check. The former Chelsea midfielder is having another impressive match today.
33'
FACT: Southampton are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games against Watford, winning three and drawing two.
31'
There are boos for Richarlison as he stays down clutching his heel following a challenge from Cedric. It's probably Southampton's lack of possession that is really aggravating them, though - they'd become a bit restless before that.
29'
We're still yet to see a decent, clear-cut chance today. Chalobah attempts to slide a pass in behind the defence for Gray but Stephens gets himself in the way once more to kill the move.
27'
Redmond looks to run at the Watford defence but loses his footing and is dispossessed by Femenia. His clearance finds Chalobah, who feeds Doucoure as he surges forwards on the counter-attack. An attempted pass out to Carrillo on the right is overhit, though, and Saints get the throw-in.
25'
Richarlison gets away from Boufal with a Cruyff turn and then darts inside of Cedric to unleash a fierce right-footed shot. Stephens flings himself in the way and sends it looping behind for a corner, which comes to nothing. The Brazilian has been very impressive so far.
23'
JUST WIDE! Holebas goes for goal directly from the free-kick and hits it sweetly. It looks to be heading into the top-right corner but spins away and ends up missing the target.
21'
A long throw into the box causes Southampton trouble. Davis hacks it clear and Boufal bundles over Femenia underneath the lofted ball, giving Watford a brilliant opportunity with a free-kick around 25 yards from goal.
20'
Cedric is let off the hook by Probert after a blatant trip on Richarlison as he looked to skip clear down the left. One more foul and he will surely be in the book.
19'
Boufal turns Femenia inside and out before cutting the ball back to the top of the box from the byline. There's no one running onto, it, though, and a great chance goes begging.
17'
A loose pass across the back four is latched onto by Carrillo, who looks set to race through on goal. Bertrand manages to get across and put in a block, with no free-kick on offer for the visitors.
16'
It looks there could be a tasty battle in midfield today. Chalobah slides in on Romeu and sends him tumbling to the deck. Referee Lee Probert awards Southampton a free-kick and the pair are happy to get up and play on.
14'
Cleverley pushes up through the middle and offloads to Richarlison on the left. He comes inside and feigns a shot before looking to dart to the byline, but Cedric reads it and is able to get in a foot and concede the throw-in.
12'
Carrillo continues to cause problems on the right, twisting away from markers before rolling a pass inside for Gray. He tries a one-two with Chalobah to get in behind the defence but Pellegrino's men are able to hold firm.
11'
Ward-Prowse swings it in and Cleverley heads it away. Southampton loft it back in but there's too much power on the ball and Gomes plucks it down routinely.
10'
Redmond bursts out a scrappy exchange in midfield and releases Ward-Prowse down the left. His square ball finds the feet of Gabbiadini, but he is unable to create room for a shot. Watford get it away but Saints come straight back at them, earning a corner on the left.
8'
Carrillo turns brilliantly to get away from Bertrand and clip a cross into the middle, but his delivery is behind the Watford shirts in the box and is dealt with by the hosts' defence.
6'
Romeu again produces another robust challenge and this time Richarlison is his victim. The Brazilian stepped across him to protect a flick from Chalobah and was caught on the heel. The free-kick is whipped into the middle from the left but Davis heads clear.
4'
Chalobah is down and holding his hip after a strong tackle from behind by Romeu. The midfielder, who was called up to the England squad for the first time during the international break, receives some treatment and looks like he will be fine to continue as he walks back onto the pitch.
2'
Southampton have settled quickly and are attempting to probe the Watford defence. Of course, there is no Virgil van Dijk in the Saints squad today, despite him having returned to full training after his failed attempt to force an exit.
1'
We are underway at St Mary's!
Hello and welcome to today's LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Southampton and Watford at St Mary's Stadium. These sides are undefeated in the top flight so far this season - is something going to give on the south coast?
Southampton may have avoided defeat so far this season but two goalless draws have led to concerns about their attack. It's not a new problem, either - they have failed to score in eight of their last 11 Premier League matches. Leading striker Manolo Gabbiadini has found the net once in the top flight this season and will be desperate to add to his tally.
Watford also drew their previous match against Brighton and Hove Albion 0-0, but Marco Silva's side had already notched five times in their two prior league outings. Goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has faced just four shots on his goal in that timeframe, providing the Hornets with a solid base from which they can look to push on.
The teams have been announced, so let's have a look at how they will be shaping up.
Southampton (4-2-3-1): Fraser Forster; Cedric, Jack Stephens, Wesley Hoedt, Ryan Bertrand; Steven Davis, Oriol Romeu; James Ward-Prowse, Sofiane Boufal, Nathan Redmond; Manolo Gabbiadini.
Southampton bench: Alex McCarthy, Maya Yoshida, Sam McQueen, Mario Lemina, Dusan Tadic, Charlie Austin, Shane Long.
Watford (4-2-3-1): Heurelho Gomes; Kiko Femenia, Younes Kaboul, Christian Kabasele, Jose Holebas; Nathaniel Chalobah, Abdoulaye Doucoure; Andre Carrillo, Tom Cleverley, Richarlison; Andre Gray.
Watford bench: Orestis Karnezis, Daryl Janmaat, Adrian Mariappa, Ben Watson, Etienne Capoue, Isaac Success, Troy Deeney.
Mauricio Pellegrino has opted for Hoedt in the centre of defence instead of Yoshida, while Ward Prowse and Boufal come into the supporting three behind Gabbiadini as Tadic and Lemina drop to the bench. For Watford, Holebas replaces the suspended Miguel Britos at left-back, while Kaboul starts with Sebastian Prodl missing out due to an injury sustained on international duty and Carrillo replaces Nordin Amrabat.
The teams are out on the pitch, so we will be kicking off in just a few moments.
HALF-TIME - Southampton 0-1 Watford: Saints' troubles in front of goal have continued today, but they are playing against a defensively robust and organised side. Doucoure's fine drive from 20 yards is the difference at the interval, with the home fans clearly not happy with what they've witnessed so far.
We are ready to get the second half underway, and it looks like Southampton are going to make a change.
FULL-TIME - Southampton 0-2 Watford: Silva's side continue their impressive start to the season, remaining unbeaten thanks to goals from Doucoure and Janmaat, while also recording a third successive clean sheet. Pellegrino's side once more offered little in attack - they managed just one shot on target all match and that came in the 92nd minute - and were booed off following the final whistle.
That's all for today. Thanks for joining us and have a great day.
