Watford-Southampton Preview (The Associated Press)

The dawn of a new Premier League season brings new challenges for every club, but forSouthampton it seems some old difficulties pop up every year. The Saints once again enter the campaign with some glaring questions that need to be answered, namely, how will a new manager on the south coast fare? Southampton finished in sixth place last season with 63 points, good for a spot in the Europa League group stage this term, however, for a club that has had their best seasons over the past few years, it will be interesting to see how the extra midweek fixtures affect their domestic performance.
