Back to the vic after midweek at Hull City where Rocco Vata scored his first competitive goal in the 1-1 draw
West Brom are a class act and the players to watch are former Millwall winger Jed Wallace and Striker Josh Maja

The second of two home games on the bounce for the golden boys against a struggling QPR side
Last season the home fixture was over on the first day of the season at half time with a 4-0 advantage to the home team and not a shot on goal from the visitors

The game pits two Scottish internationals against each other in Watford defender Ryan Porteous and Rangers striker Lydon D***s
Both are no nonsense old school competitors and both will be out to rough each other up
