Crystal Palace vs Watford Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview

Crystal Palace

There is already some time passed in this transfer window and still no reaction from the Crystal Palace management. One can't blame the supporters for being worried at the current state of affairs at the club as there has been only one player that was brought in, Jefferson Lerma signed on as a free agent after his deal with Bournemouth expired. His arrival didn't bring much excitement to the fan base. The only certain thing is, manager Roy Hodgson has been given a one-year deal to continue leading the club. But, if the top brass fails to deliver a few new players to the fold, Hodgson's tenure at the club might be troubling, to say the least. Michael Olise is out through injury.

Expected lineup: Guaita, Guehi, Richards, Mitchell, Ward, Lerma, Ahamada, Schlupp, Eze, Edouard, Ayew.

Watford

Valerien Ismael has taken over the team in May and will continue as coach for the Watford team at the start of the season. However, if the results are not positive, the club management might go for another manager. It is a usual occurrence at the club and that is something the fans are contemplating regularly. There have been a couple of additions to the team with Tom Ince and Rhys Healey joining the squad while the club sold its most prized asset Joao Pedro to Brighton. William Troost-Ekong was sold to PAOK while Britt Assombalonga, Domingos Quina, and Mario Gaspar left after the expiration of their contracts.

Expected lineup: Bachmann, Porteous, Hoedt, Ngakia, Ferreira, Kayembe, Kone, Sema, Asprilla, Sarr, Bayo.

Player to Watch: Odsonne Edouard

The 25-year-old French striker has been at Crystal Palace for the past two years since joining the club from Celtic where he scored 87 goals in 179 appearances. He was nowhere near those records for Crystal Palace as his stats are at 68 games with 13 goals and five assists. However, with the lack of new players coming into the fold and Wilfried Zaha leaving the club, Edouard might get his chance to contribute regularly.

Edouard had a great youth career scoring 17 goals in 14 appearances for France's U21 squad, he was raised in the PSG youth system, but never got to play for the senior team. Celtic bought him from the French champions in 2018 and managed to earn a profit after selling his services to Crystal Palace.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
