Expect several managers to flow through the doors this season, as per the Watford way, but former Dinamo Tbilisi man Xisco is the boss tasked with leading the club for the opening stretch of the campaign.
In the opposing dugout, lifelong Villa fan Dean Smith is doing a sterling job guiding his boyhood club through Premier League waters.
The former Brentford man has suffered the loss of Jack Grealish to Manchester City but a string of sharp transfer deals has fans dreaming of cracking the European places this term.

Our prediction: Watford v Aston Villa
Villa's pick-up of Danny Ings could prove to be the deal of the season if he hits the ground running. The former Southampton man is a natural, prolific goalscorer and took just 33 minutes to score in his pre-season debut.
His predatory instincts, aided by Ollie Watkins' work ethic and Emi Buendia's creative flair is building towards something special at Villa Park.
Watford may take time for their inexperienced XI to settle into the top flight, expect Villa to capitalise.
Our prediction: Watford 1-2 Aston Villa (9/1 at bet365)
