Saints will step out at St Mary's Stadium for the first time this calendar year off the back of a positive result in the Adobe Women's FA Cup.

Last week, Marieanne Spacey-Cale's side marked their return to action after the winter break with an impressive 2-0 win away to Sunderland; Katie Wilkinson's second half brace secured their passage into the fifth round.

With league duties resuming, Saints will hope to kick on in 2024 as they pick up proceedings sitting in fifth place, two points off top of the table.

Watford travel to Hampshire hoping for a better half of the season as they sit rock bottom of the Barclays Women's Championship.

Damon Lathrope's side have one just once in the league this season - a 3-2 triumph over Charlton back in September - and bowed out of the FA Cup last weekend with defeat against WSL giants Arsenal.

WHAT KIT WILL SAINTS BE WEARING? 

Back at home, back in red and white. We wouldn't have it any other way.

LAST MEETING

Earlier this season, Saints were victorious on a positive away day at Grosvenor Vale.

Sophia Pharoah opened the scoring and Molly Pike sealed the result in stoppage time, as Saints had to battle with ten men for most of the second half following Milly Mott's red card.
