"Manchester United are a big side but they don't have the same aura they used to have under Sir Alex Ferguson. They finished second last season but at times their football is underwhelming.

"I think the Watford players, who are in form, will fancy their chances of getting a result today."

Boos for Ashley Young as his name is read out. Troy Deeney is the big love around these parts.

Forget Romelu Lukaku (briefly), here's an unlikely danger man.

Jose Holebas has been involved in more goals than any other Premier League player so far this season. The 34-year-old former Greece full-back has scored once and provided four assists.Will his run continue today?

A warmish late summer evening at Vicarage Road, atmosphere slowly building as the players line-up in the tunnel, Ben Foster whistling along, what more could you want?

Jose Mourinho heads over to the crowd of fans by his away team outpost and signs a few autographs.

Romelu Lukaku can be frustrating to play with, I think at times lacks consistency. We have seen in his performance against Burnley and the World Cup, but he doesn’t give those performances week in and out, it can’t be relied upon.

Watford are flying and this will be a real test for Manchester United's defence, but it is one I think they will pass.

Prediction:0-2

Chelsea have done it, Liverpool have done it. Can Watford keep their good early form going into a fifth consecutive win of the season?

When I was growing up and in recent years Old Trafford was a fortress, away teams mentally were having think even a point was a major achievement, a lot of pressure there. These days it seems it is more difficult for Man United to play at home than away.

Also missing today, for quite different reasons, is Harry the Hornet.

The human who previously wore the giant insect costume has stopped doing it. Public reaction seems to suggest that is good for Wilfried Zaha and Roy Hodgson., external

More on that major news over here.

I haven't seen Harry, old or new, at all today.

In case you're wondering and Jose hasn't told you, there is no Marcus Rashford today (SHOCK) because he is suspended. The first of three.

Also there is no Luke Shaw after he was knocked out playing for England against Spain last Saturday. He's rested completely for this one.

Manchester United

Most of Jose Mourinho's pre-match comments on Friday were dedicated to a defence of Marcus Rashford's playing time.

On Watford he said: "Four matches and 12 points. Yes, three matches were at home, so maybe a little advantage, but a fantastic start. Good victories, strong performances. Congratulations to Javi [Gracia]."

It great to see a change in attitude and method cross over onto the pitch and it has for Watford. Their defensive positioning has been great, the players on paper are not blowing you away but they’ve done a great job.

Watford

Watford manager Javi Gracia:

"Last season they [Manchester United] were second in the table and for me it's a very good team, a very good coach and it will be a very demanding game. But playing at Vicarage Road we feel strong and we think we are able to beat all the teams.

"We are in a good moment, we are enjoying it, we know in the future things may change but this is a good moment for us."

It's not a great record. Watford have lost 14 of their past 15 games in all competitions with Manchester United, stretching back to 1987.

They did win one of them - two years ago in September 2016, 3-1 at Vicarage Road.

Walter Mazzarri was in charge of the Hornets, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was up front for the Reds.

Jose Mourinho didn't need to witness Watford's remarkable to start to make him aware of the potential pitfalls of a trip to Vicarage Road.

His Manchester United team were shocked and outfought there in his first season at the club and the current Hornets side are arguably more dangerous given their current levels of confidence.

He will have watched Tottenham's recent defeat there with interest and will have been left in no doubt of the standards required if they are to build on their victory at Burnley a fortnight ago and inflict only a second home league defeat on Javier Gracia since he arrived at Watford.

Let's start with the line-ups.

Javi Gracia names an unchanged Watford team to the one that beat Spurs before the international break.

Andre Gray and the in-form Troy Deeney start up top, they’ll provide United’s backline with a stern physical test.

Watford starting XI: Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes, Capoue, Doucoure, Pereyra; Deeney, Gray.

Subs: Gomes, Mariappa, Success, Masina, Sema, Chalobah, Femenia.

Jose Mourinho makes one change to the side that beat Burnley, as Ashley Young comes in for Luke Shaw, who suffered a head injury while on England duty.

Marouane Fellaini, who was impressive at Turf Moor, passes a late fitness test to retain his starting place alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic in midfield.

Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Valencia; Matic, Fellaini, Pogba; Sanchez, Lukaku, Lingard.

Subs: Grant, Bailly, Mata, Martial, Fred, Darmian, McTominay.

It's the manager of the month versus the manager of the moment.

There's still a lot of focus on Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, despite a 2-0 win over Burnley before the international break helping slightly smooth his team's faulty start.

Watford's Javi Gracia won August's award after his side's perfect start to the season - four opening wins from four.

But all that has been and gone...
