The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Premier League clash between Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Watford 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

The expected return of Sarr could give Watford that attacking injection they need to end their scoreless streak under Hodgson, and an improved defensive solidity should also serve the hosts well here. Brighton fans will be sick of the sight of 1-1 stalemates as their side endeavours to end such a run, but that is exactly how we can envisage this encounter going as Watford continue to search for their first win of 2022.
