Stoke City vs. Watford Match Preview:

In this New Year's Boxing Day teams Mark Hughes and Walter Mazzarri frankly no luck, especially red and white. After all, during the 180 minutes of the game with Liverpool (1: 4) and Chelsea (2: 4), backup goalkeeper Lee Grant potters missed eight "butterflies".
Not much to be envied now Eurelio Gomez. After the first day of the new year his former team Tottenham "shipped" to the current Watford goalkeeper four goals (1: 4).
