Southampton vs Brentford: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
Southampton welcome Brentford to St Mary's Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Saints had a string of promising performances punctured by a 1-0 defeat to Wolves last weekend. Che Adams managed to concede a free kick by heading the ball onto his own arm a yard from goal as Ralph Hasenhuttl was left pondering how his side didn't find the net.
Brentford haven't experienced the same issues at the sharp end of the pitch, rattling in 15 goals across their opening six matches - a tally only reigning champions Manchester City can better this season.

Southampton team news
Romeo Lavia joins long-term absentee Tino Livramento on the sidelines with a hamstring problem expected to keep him out for at least six weeks.
Duje Caleta-Car was part of a late glut of arrivals on the south coast this summer. The former Marseille centre-back didn't make the bench for the defeat to Wolves because the negotiations were so delayed but could figure in the squad this weekend.

Brentford team news

Southampton vs Brentford score prediction
Daniel Podence's finish may have been fortuitous but the rapidity of Wolves' attack was a threat Hasenhuttl wearily flagged post-game. "Wolves are waiting for these moments on the counter-attack," he said. "They have speed and quality up front."
No Premier League team has posed the same deadly threat in transition as Brentford this season. The Bees lead the league for shots (ten) and goals (four) following high turnovers (per Opta).
Boasting a royally in-form Ivan Toney, Brentford's hot-streak in front of goal could continue this weekend.
Prediction: Southampton 2-3 Brentford
