Everton and Watford will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has predicted in The Sun that Everton will lose against Watford this weekend.

Everton will take on Watford at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

The Toffees will head into the match on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Lyon away from home in France in the Europa League.

The defeat means that the Merseyside outfit will not be able to progress further in the Europa League this season.

Watford are going strong in the Premier League and have been arguably the surprise package of the season so far.

The Hornets have lost their last two Premier League matches, but Marco Silva’s team will be determined to return to winning ways this weekend.

Former Arsenal striker Weight has backed Watford to pick up all three points against Everton courtesy of a 3-0 win.

Ex-Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has also predicted the Hornets to get something from the match at Goodison Park.

“There’s a lot of pressure on the players at Everton and I think that’s showing in their performances,” Wright wrote in The Sun.

“I can’t see anything other than a win for Watford and ultimately I think that means Everton need to do away with any thoughts of getting the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, Sean Dyche or Eddie Howe in the dugout.

“Lose this, and I think they will, and it’s a survival specialist in the shape of a Sam Allardyce that they’ll need if they are to avoid the dreaded relegation trapdoor.

“The Hornets are well organised and very energetic and against a defence playing like Everton’s you can see goals coming. I wouldn’t be surprised to see David Silva’s men take this one 3-0, a tempting pick at 28/1.”

“Watford have picked up just a solitary point from their ten previous league visits to Everton Park but I don’t expect the Hornets to leave Goodison empty-handed on Sunday given their impressive away form so far this term,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.

“Only Wayne Rooney and Oumar Niasse have scored a league goal for the Blues so far this term and I believe things will get worse for the club before they get better.”
