Comments:

League position: 13th Burnley had now conceded only five goals in their last 17 home league games. Prior to taking over at Turf Moor, current Clarets boss Sean Dyche was manager at Watford from June 2011 to July 2012 (won 17 of 49 games). Recent club record signing Jeff Hendrick scored his first Premier League goal in this game. He had now scored four goals against Watford; the most goals he had now scored against any club.

Comments:

League position: 11th Watford had now kept only one clean sheet in their last 17 Premier League games. The Hornets were now one of five teams who had yet to keep a clean sheet after six games of this Premier League season (also Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Stoke City and Sunderland). They failed in their attempt to score at least three goals in three consecutive league games for the first since January 2011.
