Watford v Crystal Palace may not be the biggest Premier League game of the weekend, but it is a crucial clash for the clubs involved.
Even though we are only in the third round of top-flight matches, this particular encounter is telling as both Watford and Palace are likely to be fighting at the same level this season.
The Hornets have started the season well having earned a 2-0 victory over Brighton on the opening weekend and a 3-1 triumph over Burnley in their last outing.

The Eagles battled against Liverpool in their next fixture, but in the end they were beaten 2-0 at Selhurst Park.
Ahead of Sunday’s match, a rivalry seems to be brewing between Hodgson and Watford’s mascot ‘Harry the Hornet’.
