Everton to Win
Everton have won three of their last four encounters with Watford and owe their hosts one after suffering a humiliating 5-2 defeat at Goodison Park earlier in the season. Watford have lost each of their last six matches in the Premier League which includes their last three home games against Burnley, Brentford and Leeds. Everton have won their last two matches including their first away win of the campaign since beating Brighton at the AmEx back in August.
Richarlison to Score
We're backing the former Watford striker, Richarlison, to net at least one goal during the 90-minutes on Wednesday. The Brazilian top scores for Everton in the league with 8-goals and has found the seven times in his last nine games for club and country, so you can see just why we're backing Richarlison to score against his former employers this week.

Can Everton record back-to-back away wins for the first time this season?
Watford went down 1-0 to a Zaha penalty away at Crystal Palace at the weekend, a result that confirmed their relegation from the Premier League.

Everton put in their best away performance of the season just when they needed it, beating Leicester 2-1 at the King Power Stadium. Mykolenko volleyed Everton in front in the 6th-minute, a truly stunning effort from the Ukrainian international. The Foxes got back onto level terms after a mix-up in the defence between Coleman and Mina gifted Daka a one-on-one that he was never going to miss, but the Toffees moved back in front when from a corner, Richarlison's header was saved but fell right into the path of Holgate who headed home from close range to make it 2-1. Everton held onto their advantage to secure a massive 3pts in their bid to escape the dreaded drop.
Everton Predicted Lineup – Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Holgate, Mykolenko, Delph, Doucouré, Gray, Iwobi, Richarlison & Gordon
