Watford will return to the Premier League with one word on their lips: survival.

Last season's Championship campaign threatened to be derailed by the upheaval of manager-after-manager, but in Slavisa Jokanovic the club stabilised and the Hornets went on to secure automatic promotion with a second-place finish.

However, true to form, Jokanovic has already been dispensed with, as former Atletico Madrid manager Quique Sanchez Flores has taken over at Vivarage Road, and he'll hope that his first venture into the Premier League will be a memorable one.

Here are some of the highlights from Watford's fixture list to look out for:
