Myron Boadu started alongside Iker Bravo for the first time against Charlton Athletic, and the duo have started every game since.

On Saturday, the pair started up front together for the first time, due to Lucas Kjerrumgaard's enforced absence due to a minor injury.

Bravo assisted Boadu for the Hornets' opener and, despite the game ending in a disappointing defeat, the duo's chemistry looked to be one of few positives on the pitch.

Speaking after the game, Watford head coach Alessio Dionisi admitted that Boadu's excellent contribution was likely the one positive in an otherwise torrid game, but insisted his side should have capitalised on the position the Dutchman's brace put them in.

"Yes, if there is one positive, it is this," he said. "For us, it's difficult to score, but when we score twice away, we must win, [or at least] draw."

Boadu discusses Bravo understanding

A lot of the good interplay, and even Boadu's first goal, may not have been possible were it not for his excellent partnership alongside Bravo.

Speaking to the media after the game, the 25-year-old spoke about the natural understanding he has with his young Spanish teammate.

"From the first day, he knows where to find me, and I know where to find him," he revealed.

"Against Charlton was the first time we started together. We just told each other that whenever one of us has the ball, we need to come closer to each other.

"When you love having the ball at your feet, and we're two guys who love that, it becomes automatic; we don't have to talk a lot.

"I know where he is, and he knows where I am. We didn't practice [that specifically], but it just comes."

After such an impressive display together, and with Lucas Kjerrumgaard facing a late fitness assessment to determine his possible involvement, the duo could be set for another chance to impress on Tuesday night.

Watford host Lincoln City at Vicarage Road and will be desperate to end a torrid run of six losses in their last seven games.
