Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores' job is on the line going into their clash with Southampton.
The Spaniard has won just one of his nine Premier League matches in charge since his return to Vicarage Road in September, leaving Watford bottom of the table ahead of their visit to second-bottom Southampton.
The Daily Mail says should they lose to Saints, Sanchez Flores faces being sacked.
Owner Gino Pozzo would prefer not to make a second managerial change of the season, but having already dismissed 10 managers in the last seven years at Watford, that is not his primary concern.
