Led by Steven Gerard, Aston Villa displays football that most fans love to watch. The style of play that Villa's coach is forcing is fast and offensive, and the players who are at his disposal can certainly respond to his requests. When Coutinho signed for Villa, many thought it was not the best solution for them. But Gerard, who played with him in Liverpool, knows how great the great Brazilian is. He has scored 3 goals and two assists in 6 games so far, and in addition, he brings a great deal of security in the middle of the field and plays well with other teammates. They lost the previous match 1-0 to Newcastle, with a goal from a free kick, and their goal was annulled after a very small offside. Today, they will undoubtedly go for the victory, which they will definitely need to return to a good mood in the team, and the team that comes to visit them acts as an ideal opponent for something like that.

Watford are in the penultimate place on the table and they play very badly. With only one goal scored in the last 5 games and no win in the last 10, it is clear that little will be asked in today's match. The experienced Hodgson was brought in as the coach, but the fact is that the style of play he nurtures is getting weaker nowadays. In the last 5 matches, as many as 3 have played against direct rivals in the fight for survival, Newcastle, Burnley and Norwich and managed to win only two points. This was followed by two defeats against better teams Brighton and West Ham and morale in the team is at a very low level. I expect a game in which Watford will constantly defend and lurk for a chance from the counter attack. The deciding factor in this match will certainly be the individual quality of the players who are without any doubt on the side of the home team.

My prediction ;

Outcome : Aston Villa to win

Goals : Under 2.5

在杰拉德的带领下，阿斯顿维拉展现了大多数球迷喜爱观看的足球比赛。维拉教练的战术风格是快速和进攻的，球员们在他的指挥下当然可以回应他的要求。当库蒂尼奥签约维拉时，很多人认为这对他们来说不是最好的解决办法。但是杰拉德，在利物浦和他一起踢球，知道这个伟大的巴西人有多伟大。到目前为止，他在6场比赛中进了3个球，2次助攻，此外，他给中场带来了很大的安全感，和其他队友相处得很好。在上一场比赛中，他们以0 - 1输给了纽卡斯尔，一球来自任意球，而他们的进球在一个很小的越位后被宣告无效。今天，他们将毫无疑问地为胜利而战，他们肯定需要在球队中恢复良好的情绪，而来拜访他们的球队就是这样一个理想的对手。

沃特福德在积分榜上排名倒数第二，他们踢得非常糟糕。在过去的5场比赛中只进了一个球，而在过去的10场比赛中没有一场胜利，很明显，在今天的比赛中不会有什么问题。经验丰富的霍奇森被请来当教练，但事实是，他培养的打球风格现在变得越来越弱。在最近的5场比赛中，有多达3场比赛是与纽卡斯尔、伯恩利和诺维奇的直接竞争对手进行的，但他们只赢得了2分。在这之后的两场比赛中，他们分别输给了实力更强的布莱顿和西汉姆联，球队的士气处于非常低的水平。我希望沃特福德能不断防守，并伺机反击。这场比赛的决定性因素肯定是主队队员的个人素质，他们毫无疑问是主队的。
