Imran Louza has been a bright spot in midfield, contributing three goals and two assists, but the Hornets still struggle to consistently turn their chances into goals. Watford is currently 14th in the table as they adjust to life under returning manager Javi Gracia. The Hornets responded well to a loss in his opening game against Sheffield United with an impressive 2-1 victory over West Brom. Away form is still a concern, with just two points from six games on the road, including the 3-1 loss to top-tier Coventry City.
