Miguel Britos bundles home the late equaliser in the 3-3 draw with Liverpool at Vicarage Road ion the opening day of the 2017/18 season.Watford have only lost once on the opening day of the season in the last 10 campaigns.
They should have started last season on the road, but QPR asked to switch to Vicarage Road because of work being done to their pitch at Loftus Road. Joao Pedro has just scored the winner against Sheffield United in August 2022, and Tom Cleverley is racing to join the celebrations.It was a great start for new head coach Rob Edwards, but just 57 days later he was sacked. The head coach he beat that night, Chris Wilder, would take charge of Watford later in the season, with Slaven Bilic in charge in between.
Craig Cathcart celebrates his winner against Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 2020/21 season with Tom Cleverley.Less than eight months later, promotion back to the Premier League was being celebrated at an empty Vicarage Road.Only three months after the FA Cup Final, the new Premier League season started pretty much how that day at Wembley had ended as Watford were shocking and soundly beaten by the Seagulls.
Javi Gracia was to steer the Hornets to only their second FA Cup Final ever, though by the time they suffered a 6-0 humbling at Wembley in May their league form had tailed off as they lost four of their last six and, having had outside hopes of European football, they finished 11th in the table.That was the club’s highest league placing since Graham Taylor steered Watford to ninth in 1987, at the end of his last season in his first stint at the club.
Following that draw, the Hornets lost six of their next seven games against Liverpool by a combined margin of 22-0 – although the one win they did achieve was pretty memorable…Etienne Capoue gave Watford the lead after nine minutes, Nathan Redmond equalised early in the second half as the Hornets took a point in Walter Mazzarri’s first game in charge.Drew 2-2 away to Everton
