Southampton 1-1 at the Half

A win today will put the Hornets in sole possession of first. So far they've played aggressively, going into the half ahead on possession, shots on goal and corners. A cross from Tommy Smith setting up a 6-yard header by Danny Shittu gave Watford the lead in the 42nd minute. Unfortunately Southampton countered three minutes later as Rasiak scored from right up the middle 18 yards out.

Ellington and King are up front and, good news, Poom was able to start in the net. The full lineup:

Poom

Doyley DeMerit Shittu Stewart

McAnuff Mahon Williamson Smith

King Ellington

Go 'Orns!
