Player to watch: Edo Kayembe
We added Kayembe as the player to watch in our professional Watford vs Derby County prediction, as not only is he the heart and soul of the midfield for coach Cleverley, but he is also the top scorer on the team. With three goals since the start of the season, Kayembe has definitely earned a place among the starters against the Rams.
Second player to watch: Kane Wilson
The visitors will rely on Wilson’s trademark runs down the wing to help them get something at Vicarage Road. The right-back scored one goal for his team since the start of the season and it will be interesting to see if he will be able to perform against in-form Hornets.
