Can Watford register first league win of the season against Sheff Utd?
2816

Watford will be looking to record their first league win of the season when they welcome Sheffield United to Vicarage Road on Saturday.

The Hornets are the only top-flight team without a win this season and find themselves rock bottom of the Premier League table.

Quique Sanchez Flores – now in his second spell as Watford manager – will no doubt be eager to get some points on the board this weekend.

Watford have conceded 20 goals in 7 top-flight games this term and have only picked up 2 draws in that time (5 defeats, 0 wins).

8 of those goals came in a single match against Manchester City and Watford have since lost 2-0 to Wolves.

They have failed to keep a clean sheet this season and are also the joint-lowest scorers in the division (4).

Sheffield United have made a more promising start to the campaign and currently sit 6 points ahead of Watford in 12th.

The Blades have only managed to score 3 more goals than Watford but have only conceded 7, leaving them with a far healthier goal difference.

Sheff Utd were extremely unfortunate not to come away with anything from their last match as a Dean Henderson howler gifted Liverpool all three points.

Chris Wilder’s men deserved a draw against the league leaders but ultimately had to settle for defeat.

The Blades have picked up wins against Crystal Palace and Everton so far, while also recording impressive draws with Bournemouth and Chelsea.

Many doubted Sheff Utd’s Premier League credentials, but they have arguably coped the best out of the three promoted sides this year.

Chris Wilder has admitted that Lys Mousset is pushing for his first start in Sheff Utd colours, but David McGoldrick is likely to still be unavailable for selection.

Club captain Troy Deeney and Isaac Success are both still injured for Watford.

Sheffield United boast the better of the head-to-head record in this fixture with 19 wins to Watford’s 13.

The two teams last met in the Premier League in the 2006/07 season, with Sheff Utd claiming 1-0 wins home and away.

Watford could find it very difficult to pick up their first league win of the season against a Sheffield United side that is full of confidence at the moment.

Forebet predicts both teams to score and an away win for Sheff Utd.
