Watford Preview – Can Hornets take first step?
Despite the tenure of three different managers last season in the guise of Xisco Munoz, Claudio Ranieri and Roy Hodgson, Watford were unable to escape the drop from the Premier League and now Rob Edwards takes over at the helm, tasked with the job of getting Watford back into the top flight.
Recent results suggest this may be a tough assignment though as Watford have managed to win just one of their last 14 matches in all competitions, with that only being a 4-1 win against Wycombe Wanderers in a pre-season friendly.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades produce sharp start?
Sheffield United also experienced bitter disappointment at the end of last season as they lost to eventual promotees, Nottingham Forest, in the Championship play-offs so they too need to forget last term and make a positive start to this new season on Monday night.
Although they lost just twice in their last 16 home matches of the last campaign, The Blades have achieved just one win from their last eight outings on the road, but they do stand a decent chance of picking up a point here.
