Comments:
League position: 20th This was caretaker manager Hayden Mullins' second and final game in charge. Nigel Pearson was announced as the new manager on the previous day and he watched this game from the stands. Watford avoided losing four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2017. This was now the second time that the Hornets had failed to win any of their opening eight home games from the start of a league season (also nine games in 1990-91 in League Division Two). They had now taken 38 points from their last 38 games in the Premier League.0 Crystal Palace
