Watford will aim to make an immediate return to winning ways when they travel to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The Hornets had won each of their opening four fixtures in the top flight this term before being beaten by Manchester United at Vicarage Road last weekend.
Fulham fell to a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City last time out but, back on home soil, Slavisa Jokanovic’s charges will have their sights firmly fixed on securing their third competitive win of the season on their own patch.
Latest odds
The Cottagers can be backed at 7/5 (2.40) with William Hill to win this weekend, while the odds compilers offer 5/2 (3.50) that these two teams are forced to settle for a share of the spoils.
Watford are chalked up as a 9/5 (2.80) chance with William Hill to take all three points when they visit West London on Saturday afternoon.
Team news
With seven goals in his last 10 matches for club and country, Aleksandar Mitrovic will pose the main threat for the hosts, who have no fresh injury concerns.
The Hornets have a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of their trip to Craven Cottage.
Goals galore?
There has been no shortage of excitement in Fulham’s matches on their return to the top tier of English football, with 19 goals being seen in their five Premier League matches thus far this term.
The Hornets have both scored and conceded in each of their last four league games and William Hill go 8/13 (1.62) that there are goals at both ends in this game, while the same firm go 8/11 (1.73) that there are at least three goal.
Prediction
Fulham scored three first half goals in their last Premier League match at Craven Cottage – a 4-2 win against Burnley.
Jokanovic’s team will be targeting another fast start this time around and William Hill’s even money (2.0) quote that the hosts find the net before the break could represent good value for this weekend.
