Millwall thoughts.. Keeping the momentum going ? Two different styles Millwall more direct,so Important watford play there style when in possession. End product missing last week,be interesting to see how watford try to improve that,starting team /tactical tweaks?

Stoke thoughts.. momentum to continue? Stoke need points. Key for me,solid defensive display. with their attacking style, measured approach from us. I believe we'll get opportunities on counters/turnovers to pick them off,as they defend narrow and their full backs get isolated

Watford v Luton. my thoughts . Pressure on Luton considering there league position, can watford take advantage of that? Important for watford to play Intelligently first 20 mins,then as game opens up hoping we can start to control possession/tempo in midfield.

My thoughts on today's game: Pressure on both teams to get a result to change momentum in their seasons. Who can turn there possession into goals? I think both sides will have equally good periods of possession today so who can make the best use of that?
