Watford will be hoping to continue their pursuit of seventh spot in the Premier League when they welcome Southampton to Vicarage Road this evening.
The Hornets leapfrog Leicester City if they can avoid defeat against the Saints who are looking to mathematically secure their Premier League status.
Javi Gracia's side have enjoyed a good season at home this season, and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson is expecting them to secure victory over Southampton.
He said: "I think Southampton will be alright, but they will be disappointed with their result at Newcastle.
"Cardiff only need to get a win somewhere and it could be game on and Southampton will be back in it. If Cardiff beat Fulham on Saturday they would only be two points behind Southampton.
"Watford are a good team, although every time I say that they lose!

"They did the job at Huddersfield and are still rolling on in that fight for seventh. That is a big thing for the teams outside the top six, they have their own league and whoever comes in seventh has won it."
Paul Merson's prediction : Watford 3-1 Southampton
