Watford - Southampton
Watford have lost 7 of their last 8 league matches, five points off the bottom three. Marco Silva needs a win here. How is life in Southampton without Van Dijk? He has'nt played that much for them this year. But now he is gone. Wesley Hoedt and Yoshida? Are they good enough? I say they are not. Not if Southampton wants to fight for top 8.
Marco Silva is without in form player Will Hughes, and England International Chalobah. Doucoure and Cleverly are creative midfielders. Richarlison have been outstanding. Carrillo and Pereyra are players who can create great chemistry up front. With Deeney leading the line. Deeney needs to create more, he needs to score in open play. But i can´t see him good enough for that. Watford needs to shop for a better nr 9. A nr 9 that can create on his own, inside the 16m box.
Who will win? I have no idea.

- Watford
Injurys
Hoban, Cathcart, Chalobah, Kaboul, Femenia, Hughes, Britos.
