Marco Silva takes on his former club, with a bitter dispute over the Toffees' approach for the Portuguese still to be resolved
Everton boss Marco Silva faces Watford for the first time since his departure from Vicarage Road in January knowing victory will lift his side back into the Premier League top six.
The Toffees are without a win in their last two matches following their last-gasp defeat at Anfield last weekend before being held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle at Goodison Park in midweek.
Meanwhile, after winning their first four matches of the season, Watford have won just two of their 11 league games since, including three successive defeats going into Monday's game.
