Watford away tends to bring a few familiar faces, and this meeting is no different. Kick-off is 1:30 on Sunday the 16th.

According to Sainstmarching.com, the list begins with Kevin Phillips, who represented both clubs.

Southampton let a young Phillips go. Watford turned him into a goalscorer, with 24 strikes across a couple of seasons lighting the fuse.

Sunderland followed, bringing about 130 goals and eight England caps he might say should have been more.

Southampton finally signed him in 2003. He repaid them with 26 goals before Villa prised him away in 2005.
