Preview
It’s a trip to Vicarage Road this Saturday as Antonio Conte faces his ‘arch nemesis’ Walter Mazzarri in what could be a hot tempered game on Match day two of the Premier League season.
The feud between the pair started back in 2011 where the latter accused Chelsea’s new manager of copying his tactics and formation after Conte started using 3-5-2 during his time at Juventus.
Conte will hope his side can continue their momentum into this weekend’s tie after an emphatic victory against West Ham, that saw Costa bag an 89th minute winner after a ‘controversial’ tangle with Goalkeeper, Adrian, which left the Hammers furious that the Brazilian born Spaniard remained on the pitch.
The home side also got off to a good start to the new season, as the Hornets secured a 1-1 draw against Southampton despite being down to 10 men thanks to a Ben Watson red card.
