Football Results

Watford stands better in the table and currently occupies the 4th place, while Fulham is mere 15th and has eight points fewer. Besides, Watford won their last head-to-head, which happened four seasons ago when both teams competed in the Championship.

Fulham

This season Fulham again competes in the elite football league in England, where it didn’t start the new season in the best possible way given that it lost three, drew one and win one match out of five played. However, fact that worries the most manager Jokanovic is that they received the most goals of all teams in the league, so it is no wonder why Serbian coach constantly experiment with the team, mostly with defence and goalkeepers.

In previous three matches Bettinelli was at the goal but after he conceded even three in previous round when Fuhlam lost to reigning champion Manchester City by 3-0, it can be expected that experienced Fabri replaces him in this match. Fulham won the only points this season when it won Burnley at home and drew with Brighton away. We should add that out of action at the moment are only injured stopper Ream and midfielders Cariney and Kebano.

Probable lineups Fulham: Fabri – Fosu – Mensah, Odoi, Mawson, Le Marchand – Anguissa, McDonald, Seri– Schurrle, Mitrovic, Sessegnon

Watford

Unlike their next opponents, Watford footballers had a perfect start of the new season as they won four times in first four rounds. The most valuable victory was the one won in the previous round when they won at home another city rival Tottenham 2-1. Still, they couldn’t continue with the winning streak and last weekend they were defeated at home by Manchester United 2-1. It is going to be interesting to see has the defeat left too big scar in this match with Fulham.

We thing it will not be the case given that players are aware they have achieved more than it was expected from them so far this season, which is why Watford occupies high fourth place in the table. Besides, they always have a special motive when playing against city rivals and we expect that manager Gracia set a very offensive tactic now against Fulham, especially as he cannot count only on from before injured stoppers Kaboul and Britos, midfielders Cleverly and forward Deulofeu.

Probable lineups Watford: Foster – Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas – Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra – Gray, Deeney

Verdict:

Although Watford has much better start of the new season than Fulham we shouldn’t forget that both teams received goals in previous five rounds, and it is quite realistic to expect to continue with the tradition at the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
