It might have been short on entertainment but a point away to Southampton might not be such a bad result in the grand scheme of things.

With Bournemouth (H), Burnley (A) and West Ham (H) to follow Watford, a win on Saturday would send us into that run of fixtures in a much brighter mood.

Newcastle are 13/8 to win, a price which reflects Watford’s decent form of late.

Throw that in your weekend accumulator, and if you get a winning acca with four or more selections, Coral will pay you an extra 10% of your winnings as a free bet up to £100 with Acca Boost!

Toon have actually conceded less goals than Man United and just one more than Arsenal. Does that mean a nervy, low-scoring affair could be on the cards?

1-0 Newcastle pays 13/2, 2-0 pays 11/1 while Newcastle to win to nil is 16/5.
