The first Saturday of Premier League football for more than three months begins with Watford manager Nigel Pearson welcoming former club Leicester City to Vicarage Road in a 12.30pm kickoff.
The Hornets go into the match with only goal difference keeping them out of the relegation zone, whereas Leicester are flying high in third and look destined to qualify for next season's Champions League.
We say: Watford 1-2 Leicester
Watford have shown that they have the quality to beat the very best, but without the home fans cheering them on they may find it more difficult to spring such shocks.
The Hornets may well have enough to stay up this season, but we are backing Leicester to come away with all three points in this one.

Arsenal will be looking to recover from a dampening 3-0 defeat to Manchester City when they travel to the South Coast to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Brighton will be looking for their first win of 2020 as they return to action following a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
We say: Brighton 1-1 Arsenal
Arsenal's Premier League campaign could not have resumed in a more disastrous way, but Brighton have also had their fair share of poor results in recent months, so we think a draw is the most likely outcome between two sides who are in desperate need of wins.

West Ham vs. Wolves (Saturday, 5.30pm)

West Ham United face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening looking for the win which may provide them with some breathing space above the Premier League relegation zone.
As for the visitors, they travel to the London Stadium knowing that maximum points are likely required if they want to keep pace with the teams above them who are chasing a Champions League spot.
We say: West Ham United 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
With the two sides potentially needing time to get up to speed, we anticipate a low-scoring draw with little goalmouth action. However, with that outcome not particularly helping either team, there will be a desire to push for more should fitness levels allow them to do so.

The first Saturday of Premier League action after coronavirus concludes with the competition's first ever live match on the BBC as Bournemouth welcome Crystal Palace to the Vitality Stadium.
Eddie Howe's side went into lockdown in the relegation zone, but they are level on points with 16th-placed West Ham United and 17th-placed Watford after 29 games of the season.
We say: Bournemouth 1-1 Crystal Palace
This match pits a porous defence against a misfiring attack, and we are struggling to split them.
It is a contest which could go either way, particularly in such unique circumstances as these, and we are sitting on the fence with a score draw.
