Predicted Watford line-up to face Bournemouth in the Premier League
After a fantastic start to the Premier League season with four wins out of four, Watford have just slowed down a bit after losses against Manchester United and Arsenal.
It looked as if Javi Gracia’s men would rescue a point out of their game against Arsenal last weekend but Craig Cathcart’s own goal, followed by Mesut Ozil’s clinical finish, meant the Gunners brought up their fifth consecutive win.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth have been in good form this season and have won four games out of seven. In fact, the Cherries bagged all three points with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday night.
And it will be an intriguing battle when the two teams fight it out at Vicarage Road.
