West Brom vs Watford

West Brom are back at the Hawthorns for the first time this Championship campaign on Monday evening when fellow promotion hopefuls Watford come to town.

Away from that and Albion have a full bill of health ahead of the game. With the two often passing each other between promotion and relegation, they haven’t actually faced off in competitive action since 2018. A 2-2 draw and a 1-0 defeat for Albion in the 17/18 Premier League season.

It is not the best scenario for Watford, as it will force them to open up, and it is unlikely that they will be as reliable in defence as they were a week ago. It could be said that the team made the most of the encounter, as the advantage proved to be less than significant. It should be a cracking night involving two of the best teams in the Championship.” In a clash between two ambitious and equally strong teams, the home team has a slight advantage. Steve Bruce is very fond of playing as number two and this was clearly evident in the Middlesbrough game. As good as they are doing in the Championship, so bad are they doing in the Premier League. The owners – the Pozzo family – who make very abrupt and unreasonable coaching changes and player transfers play a big role here. Of course, they wanted to give it another try, but in the 21/22 season the reliance on Valerien Ismael not only didn’t work, it almost put the club in a crisis situation. The team’s most expensive player, who were rescuing the team on numerous occasions, moved to Crystal Palace, desiring to play in a more spiffy league. From 2010 to 2018, the club was able to successfully compete in the EPL and reach minimal objectives, but then the Throstles fell into a certain decline in which they were facing the difficulties in reaching the top flight. It’s a titanically difficult task to stay in the elite right now. This match represents perhaps the highlight of this Monday’s football – be prepared to see interesting fight of the clubs that are setting themselves ambitious objectives and definitely intend to return to the Premiership next season. The English Premier League and most of major domestic leagues are back.

“They’ve recruited some good players and they will be a difficult team to get the better of. “There’s been a good vibe around the training ground. But actually pulling it off is another. Watford are one of the favourites to be promoted from the Championship and make an immediate return to the Premier League. And ahead of their trip to West Brom, manager Rob Edwards revealed there is a good feeling inside the Watford camp right now. Ismaila Sarr scored a quite incredible goal for Watford against West Brom from inside his own half at the Hawthorns.

I thought we earned the luck to get a point at a really difficult place." But the striker, in stark contrast to his breathtaking first-half contribution, side-footed a tame effort towards goal from 12 yards which was easily rebuffed by Button in the 73rd minute. I couldn't have wished for a better performance from them.

Not that anybody will remember that in years to come. The former Rennes man's kick was weak and easily stopped. Or at least, that is what West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper David Button must have thought as he stood outside his penalty area. I can't remember a goal like that against me before. They should hand over the Goal of the Season award now. 'It was one of those moments of genius,' said Watford head coach Rob Edwards. 'I'm not surprised as he's super talented.

Pretty unfortunate in the way the ball broke to Sarr in the build up to the penalty. Still finding his shooing boots after a summer off, on the basis of the first 40 minutes when he could've scored a hat-trick before he actually managed to find the net. Took a no nonsense approach to his defensive duties, though most of the second half he was on the halfway line as Albion dominated. A little quieter in the second. While last week he stole the show, this week Swift was ever so slightly quieter and he allowed Wallace and Diangana to play more prominent roles. At fault for the concession of the penalty but he was otherwise imperious. He picked him out with a beautifully crafted pass and the Albion centre forward did the rest. Made one low stop to keep out Sarr and then there was the penalty save, which was rather straightforward. Carried on his commanding presence from Boro. Kept pace with the lively Sarr and brought the ball out. Albion hunted in packs, pressed with purpose and, crucially, when they had the ball - which, in a dominant first half was plenty - they were really positive. Watford sharpened up, and when Sarr took advantage of a breakdown in passing from Conor Townsend, he found himself in on goal. This was the best Albion had played over 90 minutes for a long time.

West Brom were the better side in the second half, recording 14 goal attempts. While West Brom were coming off a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough, Watford looked to get their second win of the season after victory at Sheffield United last week. Dennis was decent on the night.

Watford manager Rob Edwards gives full credit to Ismaila Sarr after his wonder goal against West Bromwich Albion.

That’s down to Isma and his quality; it was one of those moments of genius." Sarr received the ball while in his own half and spotted West Brom stopper David Button off his line. It was an amazing goal.
