Pundit predicts win for West Bromwich Albion.
Paul Merson has told SkySports he expects West Bromwich Albion to beat Watford this weekend.
The two teams face off at The Hawthorns on Saturday, both keen to get a win heading into the international break.
Merson is tipped the Baggies to record a 1-0 victory, commenting that he was impressed with their performance against Arsenal on Monday night.
He said: “West Brom were extremely unlucky against Arsenal on Monday. I thought they did okay and they can build on that performance. Meanwhile Watford have made an excellent start to the season and they’ve been outstanding away from home.
“I just have to side with West Brom though. I can see them making things extremely tight and nicking a win through a set piece.”
West Brom have had a mixed start to the season, winning two, drawing two and losing two of their first six games.
They begun well, winning their first two matches, but have not won any of their games in September, and need to end the month on a high.
This has left them in 12th place, behind opponents Watford who are in sixth position, three points ahead.
The Baggies are undefeated at home so far and will be disappointed if they end up giving that record up against Watford.
Watford have lost just once, the aberration coming in the 6-0 hammering by a rampant Manchester City.
