For Watford Marlon King looks to have the ability to mix it in the Premiership and there is enough talent around him to make it all happen. Darius Henderson and Ashley Young are also decent prospects, and they have captured Wigan man Darius Henderson for £1.5m.

Everton's pre season form has gone quite well, although they do come into this game on the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Spanish team Athletic Bilbao. The same can be said of Watford, who beat Italian Serie A team Chievo 2-1 and also drew 1-1 with Inter Milan. For me the odds on an Everton home win of 4/7 are not big enough to lump on. They do have Andy Johnson, but he hasn't as yet proved himself at the club, while the jury is still out on James Beattie. Last season the Toffees were pretty poor, while Watford stormed through the playoffs beating Palace and Leeds on the way to the Premiership. Watford will surprise a few people this year, and I'm backing them to do well. They'll come into this match full of confidence after their two great results against good teams - Chievo and Inter Milan. Although I'm sure they wont actually win the game, but they should do enough on the handicaps.

I'm going for Watford +0.5, +1 with Bet365 [£100 Free Bet]. Get on!
