Did you know?

Five of the six Premier League meetings between Watford and AFC Bournemouth have ended as draws, with Watford winning the other 2-0 in August 2017.

Troy Deeney has happy memories of facing AFC Bournemouth at home. The Watford striker has had a hand in five goals in four league appearances against them at Vicarage Road (four goals, one assist), scoring a hat-trick in August 2013.

Vicarage Road is a bogey ground for the Cherries, who are seeking a first Premier League victory there. Their only victory at the ground in their last 17 visits in all competitions came back in March 1997.

Eddie Howe's side have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine away league matches, letting in 20 goals in total.
