LIVE: Watford v Crystal Palace
- Games between Watford and Palace have a tendency to be exciting and goal-filled encounters, and this afternoon’s is likely to be no different. Hornets’ fans will have painful memories of the last time that these two sides met, as a narrow Eagles victory, made possible by an extra-time Kevin Phillips penalty, resulted in a 1-0 defeat for today’s hosts in the 2013 Championship play-off final. As a result, they will want nothing more than to inflict a defeat on the side that forced them to wait for their Premier League return.
- However, seeing off an impressive Palace side won’t be an easy task, as the South Londoners have looked full of attacking flair and capability in their opening six games of the season.
