🗞️ Team News: Watford

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Watford gaffer Roy Hodgson to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Nicolas N'Koulou (Hamstring Injury) is out of contention.

We think that The Hornets should employ a 4-3-3 system in the match with Ben Foster, Jeremy Ngakia, Craig Cathcart, William Troost-Ekong, Adam Masina, Moussa Sissoko, Edo Kayembe, Oghenekaro Etebo, Ismaila Sarr, Joshua King and Emmanuel Dennis.

ℹ️ Team News: Everton

Everton manager Frank Lampard has to currently contend with reduced team options. Yerry Mina (Hamstring Injury), Donny van de Beek (Thigh Problems), Cenk Tosun (Thigh muscle rupture), Nathan Patterson (Ankle Surgery), Andros Townsend (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Tom Davies (Knee Injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Toffees will likely begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup, choosing Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Mason Holgate, Michael Keane, Alex Iwobi, Fabian Delph, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Vitalii Mykolenko, Anthony Gordon, Richarlison and Demarai Gray.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Watford will really need to work well to hit the back of the net against this Everton lineup who will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 winning score for Everton when the full-time whistle blows.

We’ll see what happens.
