Bilic looks to Payet factor
Watford provide the opposition as the fabulous Frenchman looks to become the game changer nd the team looking to end the 90 minutes with six points from four games.
And with Sione Zaza set to debut, Bilic’s hopes are clearly high that the season gets underway here after a particularly difficult run out at Manchester City with a much weakened outfit.
Speaking ahead of the game the manager said: “It is key for us if he can produce his best form again. He has the qualities that the best players have and can help change a game. They are influencing their team mates and opponents.
“He makes the team play better and everyone around him is benefiting. The team recognised that last season.”
Payet had a useful international run out for France which saw him start to return to top fitness after his injury against Chelsea in the opening day of the season.
