As the nation prepares to wish away a month of being stuck in the house, Watford will be wishing they could be at home more often.
Vladimir Ivic’s Hornets side now have 13 points from a possible 15 at Vicarage Road. The last time they started a season in such hot form, they were promoted.
But they had to fight hard to beat Stoke 3-2.
Steven Fletcher put the Potters ahead on two minutes after a well-worked corner routine. Tom Cleverley levelled and Joao Pedro put Watford ahead from the spot on 61 minutes, but Nick Powell equalised for the visitors.
