Watford are a team with few questions to answer

SOME trendy football fans will no doubt be seduced by the all-Madrid Spanish Super Cup tonight but the serious business of Tuesday evening is in the Football League.

Who needs Ronaldo, Bale and James Rodriguez when you could be getting stuck into Mansfield versus Newport County in League Two?

The Arsenal-Napoli double in the Champions League playoffs looks a decent punt (they're playing Besiktas and Athletic Bilbao) but there are also some fascinating betting heats in the Championship.

How will Middlesbrough respond to the ignominy of losing to Leeds at the weekend? Probably by drawing at Bolton. How will Leeds respond to the shock of winning a games? Probably by drawing at home with shot-shy Brighton.

Will Brentford be the last team this season not to go off at odds-on against Blackpool? Is Bournemouth's impressive start going to end against Nottingham Forest?

Okay, that's a lot of questions and I'm not sure I've got any answers although I'm not ready to give up on Watford after their 3-0 thumping at Norwich.

The Hornets had a man sent off inside two minutes at Carrow Road and despite the old football saying, it's actually easier to play against ten men for 88 minutes.

So I'll put a line through that result and focus on Watford's opening-day win over Bolton, which was very good, as well as the fact that tonight's opponents Rotherham have scored only one goal in their first three games.

That solitary strike was a fluky winner from Ryan Hall against Wolves (the ball basically hit him and went in) and the Millers' luck must run out soon.

Forget Real Madrid's forwards – it's all about Watford strikers Troy Deeney and Matej Vydra for me on Tuesday.
