Red Rag To A Hornet
An underrated feisty fixture. Watford haven't forgotten how the Marco Silva situation played out and relished a 1-0 victory on his first return to Vicarage Road. Everton look the better side a few months on and that's unlikely to improve relations.
Everton v Watford has been described as the Premier League’s newest rivalry and PaddyPower’s 9/2 on a red card in the match could be worth the uptake.
The bad blood all centres around Marco Silva who walked out on Watford, in a manner of speaking, to finally take up residence at Goodison Park.
The most recent meeting came in February with Troy Deeney commenting in the run-up that they would ‘kick the s***’ out of Everton. Although that never transpired, Kurt Zouma was still sent off as the players left the pitch and you suspect the desperation for a first victory of the season will fire both these sets of players up again.
