Premier League
Saturday 3pm

Goals have been high on the agenda wherever Crystal Palace have travelled this season and a trip to face an out-of-sorts Watford has the makings of another entertaining affair.

Both teams have scored in seven of Palace’s last eight away league matches and their defensive frailties – they have conceded two or more in five of their last six – should please hosts Watford.

The Hornets are without a win in five league outings but are much happier on home soil and are fancied to make their mark.

Recommendation
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
1pt 13-10 Hills
