Plenty of goals are expected at Watford

Kick-off 3pm Saturday

Watford were the better side for long spells of last Saturday's 4-2 defeat at Chelsea but they made defensive errors towards the end and their dodgy back-line could harm their chances of beating Stoke at Vicarage Road.

Watford have won a lot of praise this season but have conceded 17 goals in nine games and are still without injured centre-backs Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Prodl.

Stoke can take advantage of Watford's defensive deficiencies but will struggle to keep the lively Hornets at bay.
