The Italians have always been known for their defence

Ignore Watford at your own will. The Hornets have been on their worst run in the Premier League this season with a series of winless games, however, Watford shocked the rest of the league with a convincing 2-1 victory over Arsenal. Younes Kaboul had a brilliant game and would be pleased to score against Arsenal being a former Tottenham player.

A very unorganised defence from Arsenal allowed Capoue to exploit the space that led to the second goal from Troy Deeney, who manages to be in the right place at the right time more often than not. With this performance, Watford and their fans will hope that this could signify their return to form.
