New Watford manager Roy Hodgson has said the Hornets aren't in too dissimilar a position as to the one he found when he took over at Crystal Palace in 2017.
The 74-year-old, who was appointed as Claudio Ranieri's successor at Vicarage Road last week, took over at relegation-threatened Palace after they had lost their first four games of the season without scoring a single goal.
Hodgson eventually steered them well clear of the drop and all the way to an 11th-placed finish in the table by the end of the season, maintaining his record of never being relegated as a Premier League manager.
