Drivers are being warned that Southampton is expected to be busy as Saints are set to take on Manchester United at St Mary’s.
Off the back of three defeats this season so far, Saints will face Manchester United at 12:30pm – resulting in heavy traffic for city centre drivers.
Also adding to congestion is that two cruise ships are in the ports today, P&O’s Ventura and Iona which will be departing from the city at 5pm and 5.30pm respectively.
The 55th International Boat Show is also taking place at Mayflower Park this weekend.
#SaintsFC are at home today, playing @ManUtd, kick off at 12:30pm.
