Watford are set to host Newcastle United at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon for the sixth matchday of the English Premier League.
Watford have had a mixed start on their return to the Premier League this season.
They beat fellow promoted side Norwich City 3-1 in their last league game with a goal from Emmanuel Dennis and a brace from Ismaila Sarr.
Watford's victory over Norwich City was their first win since the opening day when they beat Aston Villa 3-2. Watford, however, crashed out of the EFL Cup on Tuesday as they lost 3-1 to Stoke City. The Hornets' loss on Tuesday means they have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions.
Newcastle United have been rather poor this campaign and are one of five clubs without a win in the Premier League so far. They drew 1-1 against Leeds United in their last game with Allan Saint-Maximin scoring the sole goal for Newcastle United.
Newcastle United sit 18th in the Premier League with just two points from five games. They have failed to win any of their games across all competitions this campaign. The Magpies will be looking to pick up their first win of the season when they face Watford on Saturday.
