Watford have seen over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 12 home matches against Burnley in all competitions. Burnley are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Watford in all competitions.
Watford boss Rob Edwards will have been disappointed with his side's performance on Monday night after the Hornets notched up just five attempts against an unfortunate West Brom side. Friday night's hosts have claimed four points from their opening two league outings, but could see their attacking roster significantly weakened in the final stages of the transfer window. Burnley were also afforded some rest in midweek as the rest of the Championship sides played in the first round of the Carabao Cup. The Clarets followed up their opening night victory against Huddersfield with a 1-1 draw against last season's playoff semi-finalists Luton Town. 2:1
Watford boss Rob Edwards has confirmed that young midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is set to miss the next 2/3 months with a knee ligament injury sustained in training. Two changes are on the cards for the Hornets with centre-back William Troost-Ekong and right-back Mario Gaspar both potential options. Vincent Kompany could hand a full debut to Belgian winger Benson Manuel this weekend after the summer signing appeared from the bench against Luton Scott Twine is carrying a knock and remains a doubt for the Clarets after missing the game against Luton.
