THE PREDICTION
Following their 2-0 win over Wycombe in midweek, Watford currently sit level on points with second-placed Brentford and have the opportunity to leapfrog the Bees temporarily in this Saturday lunchtime kickoff vs Nottingham Forest. Despite a lengthy injury list, the strength in depth of the Hornets have allowed them to continue performing at a high standard with the likes of striker Andre Gray able to slot in and perform at a high level, as he proved with his brace vs Wycombe. Nottingham Forest however, are expected to suffer due to the absence of striker Lewis Grabban through injury and with spirits low following defeat last time out vs Luton, Watford should be set to take advantage here, overwhelming the visitors with their attacking quality and picking up another three points to pile the pressure onto their automatic promotion rivals.
