Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores and Swansea boss Garry Monk shake hands. They are both wearing knitwear. We are under way here.

"As no top-division team was more active in the transfer window than Watford, this weekend's match will be viewed as an early opportunity to test how successful their business has been.

"As well as the 15 new players recruited, it has also seen the departures of several key players who helped them secure promotion, with the likes of Gabriele Angella, Fernando Forrestieri, Miguel Layun and Matej Vydra allowed to leave.

"The hosts haven't scored since the opening day and are winless this campaign, so the visit of a much more settled, self-assured and unbeaten Swansea will rightly be viewed with a degree of trepidation."

Hey Watford fans. You guys could go above Chelsea with a draw. Now wouldn't that bring a smile to your faces?

Watford's net spend of £34.3m was the fifth highest of all the clubs in the Premier League. Italian owner Gino Pozzoallowed manager Quique Sanchez Flores to bring in 15 players to the newly promoted side.

How quickly will they all knit together?

However, a key signing could be defender Nathan Ake who arrived on loan from Chelsea. He's a player I've seen a few times, and he's impressed me with his unflustered play. Let's see if he gets many chances during his spell.

It looks a lovely day down in Hertfordshire. If you have any photos you have taken outside the ol' Vicarage then post them at #bbcfootball, external and we'll try to use a few right here... in this live text.

Apparently they're all singing "Garry Monk's Army! Garry Monk's Army!" in south Wales. Not that the 36-year-old Bedford-born Swansea manager is one who feels he needs to rabble rouse.

Monk, with little fuss, has put together an attractive, attack-minded team who have quietly risen to the heady heights of fourth.

Today his side face Watford aka "Hey! Big spenders" [explanation in a bit] who have three points from four games.

Worth noting that the Hornets have not lost since then first day. Will it be Quique time today?
