Quique Sánchez Flores is back at Watford and it is fair to say he knows the score. “We don’t have time,” the manager said, with a nod towards the helter-skelter nature of Premier League football but, also, perhaps the reality that the Watford hot-seat is hotter than most. Rock bottom after four games, Sánchez Flores will face Manchester City after this daunting clash with free-wheeling Arsenal. Things could get worse before they get better. David Hytner
