Saints remain rooted at the foot of the table, six points out of safety, after a nine game winless run and they desperately need three points here.
Forest won their first meeting of the season 1–0 at St Mary’s in January, when Taiwo Awoniyi scored the winner midway through the first half.

VPN guide
If you’re abroad for a Premier League match, you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. However, you can use a VPN to get around that, without resorting to illegal feeds found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it meets your broadcaster’s terms and conditions, creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning the service can’t determine where you are and let you watch. And all the information that passes between them is completely encrypted, anonymous and secure – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good options out there. For the Premier League, Four Four Two currently recommends:
