The Theory That Watford Will Win The 2018/19 Premier League

It has come to our attention that Watford might just win the Premier League this season judging by an incredible theory that has emerged online in recent hours.

So, here goes. In 2014/2015, a year before Leicester CIty were crowned Premier League champions, the Foxes finished in 14th place with 41 points.

The Foxes' record of 11 wins, 8 draws and 19 losses meant that they were one of the favourites to be relegated the following season but in 2015/16, Claudio Ranieri led his side to a famous title victory and well, the rest is history.

So, does that mean Javi Gracia's side will win the Premier League in 2018/19?

The Hornets have made an incredible start to the season, recording four wins in their first four games.

Impressive victories over Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur have earned them a third place place at present, two points ahead of current champions Manchester City.

Twitter users have caught wind of the theory, even discussing how Troy Deeney is the Jamie Vardy of Watford, while Roberto Pereyra is Riyad Mahrez, Etienne Capoue is N'Golo Kante and Ben Foster is Kasper Schmeichel - no, seriously.

Here's how the rest of social media reacted to this madness:

Can Watford actually win the Premier League?
