Southampton travel to Watford to get their Championship season underway, with the Saints hoping to bounce back from their 'Spygate' scandal last campaign.
Tonda Eckert's side were kicked out of the Championship play-offs last season after admitting to spying on three clubs throughout the campaign.
The Saints, who beat Colchester 2-0 in their Carabao Cup first round clash last weekend, will begin the season on -4 points after their deduction, so even a victory against Watford would still leave them bottom of the Championship for a week.
Eckert's men finished fourth last season and they're expected to be battling for a play-off spot at least this time out, especially given an eighth-placed finish will be good enough to get in this campaign.
While Southampton are looking at automatic promotion or the play-offs, Alessio Dionisi's Watford look destined for another season of mediocrity.
Watford have finished 11th, 15th, 14th and 16th since being relegated from the Premier League in 2022 and they look more likely to finish in the bottom third of the league than launch a play-off run.
