Brighton & Hove Albion v Watford features two Premier League sides looking to get a winning streak going in Matchweek 2. Here’s how to watch.

After a successful opening weekend for Brighton & Hove Albion and Watford, someone is going to have to be disappointed in Premier League Matchweek 2.

Brighton picked up an away victory over Burnley, 2-1, with goals from Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister within five minutes of each other in the second half.

Watford jumped out to a 3-0 lead against Aston Villa before being just slightly unnerved as they notched two late to end it 3-2.

In terms of the head-to-head, Brighton has a narrow edge because of a 3-0 win in 2019, but the two sides have drawn in their other two most recent meetings.
