Burnley clearly do not have the financial might to compete with a host of teams in the Premier League but the Clarets possess a team spirit that is worth millions in itself.
That being said, Burnley are one of the favourites for relegation this season as their squad looks a bit lacking in quality and Sean Dyche’s men have not enjoyed the best of starts to their campaign so far.
Leicester City inflicted a 3-0 defeat on Burnley last week and now Dyche will be hopeful that his side can earn a positive result in front of their fans when the newly promoted side square off against Watford on Monday night.
Ashley Barnes remains out of contention due to a hamstring problem while Andre Gray has been slapped with a four match ban for his homophobic posts on social media website Twitter.
Watford Match Betting News
Watford endured a shaky start to their campaign but things have turned around in dramatic fashion for the Hornets over the past week or so.
First, Watford claimed a fine 4-2 victory over West Ham United at the Olympic Stadium before going on to beat the star studded Manchester United side 3-1 last weekend at Vicarage Road.
The successive victories means that Watford will be full of confidence at the moment and Walter Mazzarri will surely be keen on his side to continue their winning run with another victory when they square off against Burnley on Monday night.
Jose Holebas, Daryl Janmaat, Younes Kaboul, Stefano Okaka and Jerome Sinclair are the players struggling with injuries ahead of the clash.
Burnley vs Watford Match Prediction
Burnley and Watford have played out five draws in the last six encounters against each other and although a lot has changed for the two sides since their Championship days, one can expect another close encounter this time around.
Watford do have the better form heading into the clash but Burnley are a tough side to play against at home and a draw looks the most likely outcome on the night.
