Watford will be hoping to make a better showing than their last Premier League campaign, in 2006-07, when they finished bottom with a mere five wins all season. The club have effectively gone out and bought an entirely new team this summer, with 11 players arriving so far. It will be a test for the new manager, Quique Flores, who has been at the club only since June, to integrate all the new arrivals. Rich Flower
