League position: 9th Since Watford's return to the Premier League in 2015, only West Ham United (12) had now had more players sent-off than the Hornets (ten). They had scored at least two goals in each of their seven previous away games so far this Premier League season. They had now taken 13 points from their eight Premier League away games so far in this season; one more than in the whole of 2016-17 (12 points from 19 games).
