THE PREDICTION
Watford fell to their second league defeat this season at the weekend after being beaten 1-0 by Barnsley at Oakwell. After starting the campaign strongly, the Hornets are now under a little bit of pressure after failing to win their last three league games. They face Stoke, who came through a tough test against Rotherham last time out, earning a hard fought 1-0 win. Goals are likely to be in short supply here despite the array of attacking talent on show, as Stoke look to play tight and attempt to hit Watford on the counter attack. The result could go either way, but under 2.5 goals scored in the match is expected here.
