SAINTS return to pre-season action on English soil this evening when they take on newly promoted Championship side Oxford United.

Russell Martin's charges are playing their fourth friendly in preparation for the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Southampton have so far recorded a 7-1 win over neighbours Eastleigh, a 3-2 win over Bordeaux and a 3-1 win over Ligue 1 Montpellier.

This evening's game against Oxford United kicks off at 7.30pm, with a stream accessible via southamptonfc.com and the Saints app. A stream pass costs £5.

The stream will start shortly before Saints get under way in their fourth pre-season encounter.

The Daily Echo will also be at the Kassam Stadium to provide minute-by-minute updates, analysis and reaction from Russell Martin and the players.

Boss Martin is expected to name two XIs, as he has done throughout pre-season.

New signing Ben Brereton Diaz is not expected to feature following his arrival on Tuesday.
