Can Southampton Expect Any Help from Elsewhere This Weekend

Saints take on Watford looking for a win that will keep their feint automatic promotion hopes alive this weekend, but can they expect any hope from elsewhere after top three all faltered in midweek.

First fixture on the Championship calendar is on Friday evening where Plymouth take on Leicester City, Argyle are just two points off the relegation zone but are putting in some gritty displays as they battle to avoid the drop, perhaps Leicester could drop a point in this one.

Then it is Elland Road where Leeds United take on Blackburn Rovers in the 12.30 kick off on Saturday, the Lancashire side have picked up in recent weeks but they are a jekyll & Hyde side, after destroying Sunderland away 5-1 and drawing 0-0 with ourselves last Saturday, Rovers then got slaughtered 5-0 at Bristol City, so I can't see much hope for this one.

Nest up Ipswich host Middlesbrough and as we saw Boro are a tough side to beat, so we could hope for a draw in this one.

Could this be a weekend where we suddenly close the gap between 4th and 3rd and suddenly give ourselves a fighting chance of automatic promotion again, we will know two of the answers to that by the time we kick off against Watford, but all we can do is win our own game, take another step to securing at least 4th and then see where we are after the weekend.
