Everton News and Form – Can Everton get the better of Watford?
Everton had a disaster on the weekend as they lost 3-2 at Brighton in the league. In their league game before that, they had taken a home win over West Ham, snapping a run of four straight league defeats. So that victory over the Hammers was supposed to be a turning point for them. It clearly wasn’t. It is five defeats in their last six games in all competitions that Everton have suffered. They are having some big problems. Their record at Goodison Park this season is W3 L2.
In the last round of the Carabao Cup, the Toffees beat Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, having opened with a 4-2 win at Lincoln. Everton have some pretty patchy form in the League Cup with a W5 L4 record in their last nine played in the competition (including penalty shootouts). Everton have won seven of their last nine League Cup home games, however. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last three home wins in the competition.

Everton vs Watford Predictions
Draw: The 90-minute draw does have some appeal here. Watford have at least tightened up a bit in that they aren’t losing games. But they still can’t really be trusted to do enough to win. Everton are just totally hit and miss and will be feeling huge pressure in this one. Draw.
