If Watford have changed hugely since the Pozzo takeover, it’s probably just as well: in 11 matches against the old-style club, as manager of Gillingham, Bristol City, Plymouth and Stoke, Tony Pulis lost only once, with five wins and five draws. West Brom will want to atone for a feeble performance against Manchester City. Both clubs’ record signings, Steven Berghuis and Salomon Rondón, could debut from the bench. Simon Burnton
