Its baking hot here in Watford.
Above all we must retain possession, let them run around chasing in this heat

There are some players who make their first starts of the season today
"some" players. Noble is probably one of them so who is the other one/others? Surely Zaba isn't starting.

And some that don't.
Genius reporting.

Sanchez to start possibly?
Need Antonio in there, our attacking moves are too slow and ponderous without him. I'm going for a 2-1 win with Haller and Lanzini to score for us.

We could probably save this post, for routine repeats, over the next 5 years.

Decent side but I worry about Ogbonna.

Am I the only one who thinks this will be a straight forward 3 or 4 goal victory for us? We have a very decent first 11 whom all will be fit and ready to play. Watford are struggling and should be an easy 3 points.
I will actually be disappointed and surprised if we don’t dominate this game from start to finish.

Apart from the bit about 'all are fit' of course

Only surprise in that XI is Yarmolenko.
The back line really didn't defend that badly last week - it was the absence of an out ball/percentage ball that stymied all our possession.

Yarmolenko smacks of “I’ve tried everyone else, you have a go this week...”
Prefer Antonio myself but it appears Pellers has got the hump with him.

Good line up and good, strong bench.

Lanzini knits it all together, perhaps by staying on his feet, looking forward, a bit better, and we win this game today.
Need a confident display from Diop, too.
1-2
