Watford v Everton: match preview

Watford v Everton
Watford v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Richarlison is likely to return for Everton to face his former club Watford after missing two matches. Nigel Pearson has Will Hughes and Danny Welbeck back at his disposal and both could be useful options after a damaging late defeat against Aston Villa. The loss put Watford back in the relegation zone and a morale-boosting win would be fantastic when their rivals at the bottom Brighton are up next with Manchester United and Liverpool to follow. Graham Searles
