Watford are set to have a good season under Marco Silva

Marco Silva's reputation as a manager is slowly gaining credibility. If his first match as Watford boss is any indication, then the Hornets are set to have a good season under him.

The former Hull City gaffer is already getting Vicarage Road bouncing with an exciting brand of football. His side took the attack to Liverpool throughout the game and did not sit back even when in front.

Okaka and new signing Andre Gray are a terrific combination as the former's physical attributes blend well with the latter's raw pace and finishing ability. Club captain Troy Deeney's return will further bolster the attack.

Thus, Watford can aim for a top ten finish if they perform the way they did today.
