Watford preview

My preview that appeared in The Verdict section of today's Observer Sport:

This game gives us the opportunity to put back-to-back wins together for the first time in nearly forty games and in all honesty there aren't many fixtures that on paper provide an easier chance.

Watford have done well enough on their return to the Premiership and have turned in some decent performances - even if results haven't always reflected this - bit losing to Sheffield United in midweek was a setback.

Our win at Villa was certainly welcome and hopefully will be a springboard for us to put together a consistent run away as well as at home, where our form has been impressive throughout the season.

Watford's attack without Marlon King will not get much from our defence and I take us to with this 2-0.

DUE A BIG GAME: Giorgios Samaras. Partnership with Corradi is progressing well but he needs a goal.
