Premier League

Watford claimed a dull 1-0 win at Middlesbrough last Saturday but they are usually a more adventurous side and can play their part in an entertaining game.

The Riverside contest was a match in which neither team wanted to take any risks but it should be different today as attack-minded Swansea are desperate for three points. Watford’s defence may crack but their forwards can do some damage at the other end.

Recommendation
Both teams to score
1pt 4-5 Betfair

Team news
Swansea
Fernando Llorente (rib and knee) and Modou Barrow (knock) are available but Jefferson Montero (calf) misses out.

Watford
Isaac Success (muscle strain) is a doubt so Odion Ighalo stands by for a possible recall. Miguel Britos has recovered from a knock but Craig Cathcart (groin) is out.

Key stat
Both teams scored in nine of Watford’s last 11 matches
