Watford vs Barnsley Prediction
Watford appointed Xisco Munoz as manager last month, replacing Vladimir Ivic in the process. The Spaniard has so far done a good job at the club, with the Hornets sitting fifth in the league table. The arrival of Danish winger Philip Zinckernagel from Bodo/Glimt this month could strengthen the squad.
Barnsley, on the other hand, have been in fine form this season under Valerien Ismael. They let go of midfielder Matty James to Championship rivals Coventry City. However, they have the likes of Herbie Kane to replace the Englishman.
Both sides have done well this season, but Barnsley have lost their last two league games. We expect Watford to edge past them in this fixture.
Prediction: Watford 1-0 Barnsley
