Watford v Norwich City: match preview

Watford v Norwich City
Watford v Norwich City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Norwich City travel to Vicarage Road buoyed by the point they earned against Arsenal last Sunday. However, Alex Neil will also be aware his side have won just once on the road in seven attempts this season. If Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney can continue combining as effectively as they have done so far then Quique Sánchez Flores will be confident Watford can secure victory. Graham Searles
