Southampton may be rooted to the bottom of the table, but they're one of the Premier League's in-form teams. Three consecutive victories in all competitions have completely transformed the feeling around the club, and St Mary's will be bouncing for today's visit of Aston Villa, who are also in a very good place right now. Read on to find out how to watch a Southampton vs Aston Villa live stream from wherever you are.

Adam Armstrong has really hit his stride for Southampton in recent weeks, and he's rewarded with a place in the starting lineup. Mohamed Elyounoussi is the man to make way, taking his place on a very strong bench that also includes Carlos Alcaraz, Sekou Mara and Romain Perraud.

The sale of reliable goalscorer Danny Ings this week was a big call from Unai Emery, so there's a little pressure on Ollie Watkins' shoulders as he line up alongside winger Leon Bailey in a new-look Villa attack. Alex Moreno, who excelled on his debut last weekend, starts at left-back in place of the injured Lucas Digne.

A vocal section of Southampton fans made it abundantly clear that they weren't happy with the club's appointment of Nathan Jones, but the jeers have given way to cheers after an outstanding fortnight punctuated by three convincing victories over Crystal Palace, Man City and Everton.

James Ward-Prowse has, understandably, taken many of the plaudits thanks to three beautiful goals, but the results have come from Jones getting the entire Saints team singing from the same hymn sheet. Their collective pressing has been impressive, but they're combining it with scything interplay, and for the first time all season there's genuinely fierce competition for places.

Emery's impact at Aston Villa has been even more effective, if not always quite as visually appealing. Seven points from their last three games have propelled them all the way up to 11th place, but with the relegation candidates so tightly assembled beneath them, it's far too early to relax.
