Crystal Palace-Watford Preview

Watford are in a confident mood after securing back-to-back league victories ahead of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road.

The newly promoted Hornets (2-3-1) went four matches without a victory on their return to the Premier League before breaking their duck by beating Swansea City 1-0 at home on Sept. 12, with Odion Ighalo scoring the only goal of the match.

Watford made it two wins in a row seven days later when they beat Newcastle United 2-1 at St James' Park, and Nigeria international Ighalo again provided the offence with a brace.

The 26-year-old Ighalo has netted 20 goals in 24 league appearances in 2015, more than any other player in all top four tiers of English football.
