Watford hope that last weeks loss to a Premier League newcomer was just a blip as they face Bournemouth on Saturday at Vicarage Road.Walter Mazzarris Hornets (2-1-3) were downed 2-0 by Burnley last time out, ending a surge in form that saw them come from behind to beat West Ham United 4-2 before getting the better of Manchester United 3-1 the following game.However, the defeat to the Clarets means its still unclear whether the norm for Mazzarris side is the form they showed in their winning spell or the one point theyve collected from the other four matches this season.Weve played a couple of games well, others not great like the last one for example, centre-back Miguel Britos said. Its the beginning of the season and we have a lot of matches left though, so we have to think about the next game and try to win.Everyone has to prepare and we must work together to try to play like we did against Manchester United.

Boss Eddie Howe has strengthened well going into this campaign -- most notably bringing in Jack Wilshere on loan from Arsenal. But the young coach is aware that Saturdays matchup is exactly the kind of test the south coast club will need to pass if they are to establish themselves as a mid-table Premier League outfit.ddddddddddddIt will be a tight game, Howe said. Watford are a very good team at home and have played Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in recent weeks. Weve had some really good games against Watford in recent years.Howe is also wary about Watfords strike partnership between Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney, who -- along with midfield revelation Etienne Capoue -- were influential in those wins over West Ham and Man U.I think theyre very strong and in particular the two front players, Howe said. They pose a physical threat from long balls and Ighalo and Deeney are a good partnership.Theyve changed the system slightly to three at the back, that gives the two up front less defensive responsibilities and this season the goals have been shared around their team.Bournemouth will be without the services of Emerson Hyndman, Junior Stanislas and Tyrone Mings for this contest, while Watford are missing Brice Dja Djedje. Capoue and Craig Cathcart are also doubts for the Hornets.There has been just one win in the last five league meetings between these clubs, with Bournemouth claiming the solitary victory in 2015.Watford have struggled to keep goals out in the Premier League, managing just a single clean sheet in their last 17 top-flight games. However, the Cherries have been a little goal-shy, scoring more than once on just a single occasion in their last 11 league matches. ' ' '
