Both sides main strikers are also struggling for their best form at this moment in time too.
Troy Deeney has failed to find the back of the net since the beginning of October while Romelu Lukaku is without a goal in four games.
So how do the two players compare so far this season? We have taken a look at their stats.
| Team | Shots per Game | Shots on Target per Game | Shooting Accuracy | Goals | Key Passes per Game | Accurate Passes per Game | Passing Accuracy | Assists | Appearances | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Troy Deeney | Watford | 1.36 | 0.5 | 16% | 3 | 1.14 | 14.21 | 58% | 3 | 14 |
| Romelu Lukaku | Everton | 2.54 | 1.46 | 21% | 7 | 1.69 | 16.31 | 69% | 3 | 13 |
As it turns out, Lukaku has been the better player as he comes out on top in all but one key area.
The Belgian has registered more shots per game, 2.5 compared to 1.3 as well as more shots on target per game, 1.4 compared to 0.5
He has also enjoyed a better overall shooting accuracy and as a result, has more than double Deeney’s goal tally.
