Watford travel to Fulham for the opening game of the weekend's Premier League festivities looking to bounce back following their first defeat of the season.

The Hornets' 2-1 defeat by Manchester United blemished their perfect start to the campaign and Javi Gracia is determined to regain some of that lost momentum at Craven Cottage.

Fulham have shown promising signs in their opening five games, particularly in the attacking third with Aleksandar Mitrovic and Andre Schurrle particularly threatening, but with only four points on the board this is an opportunity to climb the table.

90 mins: Fulham 1 - 1 Watford

There's 3 minutes added time, either side could still win this but I think a draw would be the fairest result. Fulham have been excellent in the second half. Mitrovic runs the ball inside from the right, Holebas dropping off him, he puts it on his left and fires a shot forcing Foster to make the save behind for a corner. Seri takes it and Mitrovic heads it onto the bar!

Fulham 1 - 1 Watford

A game of two halves this one. Watford dominated the first half completely, they should have had three possibly four goals in the first 45 minutes but Fulham responded well. They changed their formation and personnel at half time and came out fighting. They chased the game in the second half and deservedly got the equaliser. 1 - 1 a fair result for both teams.
