    Newcastle slumped to their third defeat on the bounce as they went down 4-1 at Man Utd whilst Watford ended a run of three straight defeats with their 2-0 win against West Ham. For all that they’re well-organised under Rafa Benitez, Newcastle have kept only three clean sheets this season as strugglers Palace and West Ham are the only sides they’ve shut out at St James’s Park. Watford have netted exactly twice in all six of their road games, but their only clean sheet in their last eight home or away also came against West Ham.

    All three of Newcastle’s home wins this term have come against bottom-six opponents and so they look too short against a Watford side that’s been mighty impressive this term under Marco Silva. They’ve won at Bournemouth, Southampton and Swansea, while they were unfortunate not to have gotten something from trips to Everton and Chelsea.

    The clubs last met in 2015-16 when Watford beat Newcastle three times in league and cup but only by a single goal each time, 2-1 home and away in the Premier League and 1-0 at home in the FA Cup. Before that the clubs hadn’t met since 2010.

    Team News

    Watford’s main selection issue concerns manager Marco Silva, who is/was wanted by Everton. If the former Hull boss swaps Vicarage Road for Goodison Park Watford could be in disarray . Brazilian creator Richarlison may also have his head turned as he draws interest from elsewhere.

    Watford’s injury list is still lengthy but they put that to one side to beat The Hammers.

    Missing Isaac Hayden through suspension, Newcastle will hope to have Jamaal Lascelles back after he missed the weekend’s hammering at Old Trafford and will hope the injury prone Dwight Gayle has no reaction to his recent exertions.

    Goalkeeper Rob Elliott has come in for some criticism from the fans recently but is likely to keep his place.

    Chris Kavanagh only took charge of his first top-flight game in April, and has now been named among the Select Group officials who will prowl the Premier League circuit full-time. This year, he has already received praise from Chelsea and Brighton fans for displays in charge of their top-flight games.

    Cheers OFH. <cheers>

    Given the Giants' form recently the Pygmies have a decent chance to bag all 3 points and escape back down Sauffffffff. <laugh>

    We all know anything can happen mind, but I have a good feeling about tomorrow's match. <wizard>

    ¡¡¡COYH!!!

    Prodl the better right of a centre back pair in back 4.
    Britos is left footed and the better of a left centre back in back 3 or 4.
    If Prodl gets back in currently it would be if Kabasale gets injured.
    Mariappa on right of back 3 is proving the best option.

    It seems you would rather play someone out of position. You won't find Silva doing that unless there is no option.
