Everton vs Watford Preview

Everton vs Watford

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Goodison Park

Date: 10th December 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Everton are having a good season under Marcos Silva and they may well end the season in a European place as is expected of them by their fans after their summer outlay.

The Toffees are 6th in the league table ahead of this weekends matches and their fine run of form recently has seen them lose just one of their last 5 games despite having played Chelsea and Liverpool away from home.

Their only loss in this period of time came against the Reds and it was truly an undeserved victory for the host as Everton played well and deserved to earn at least one point from the game.

Everton’s attacking brand of football is a real delight to watch for their fans and they will be turning out in their droves to see their team take on a struggling Watford side in this game.

Watford started the season very well and there were even talks of them winning the Premier League just like Leicester City did a couple seasons back in miraculous fashion.

However, the Hornets have encountered a rough patch and their poor recent form has placed them down the league table towards where many expected them to be.

Watford come into this game with no wins in their last 5 league games and they have lost their last 3 games on the bounce.

Having played against Manchester City, Liverpool and Leicester City in their last 3 games, Watford will feel the rough patch is over and they will be looking to build a run of form starting at Goodison Park.

Everton have won their last two home games against Watford.

Everton are slight odds-on favourites with bookmakers to come out on top in this tie while Cenk Tosun and de Andrade Richarlison are joint favourites with bookies to score the first goal.

This game gets underway at 20:00 BST.
