Match Preview:

Watford come into this match in terrible form with just 1 point gained from their past 15. They have suffered recent losses against Burnley and last weekend Huddersfield and the club are searching in vain for confidence.

The good news for the Hornets is that they will be safe this season and have 37 points but it looks as if their run in will end on a sour note. The club has conceded a whopping 60 goals this season and only Stoke with 64 have a worse record. They have picked up 65% of their total points at Vicarage Road, and in the month of March the team went on a 3 game winning run. However they have now gone 2 games without a win here.

Crystal Palace are not safe yet but they made leaps and bounds with a superb if nervous 3-2 victory over Brighton last weekend. The win means that the club are on a two game unbeaten streak and have only lost 1 match in their past four.

The Eagles have lost 9 matches away but in their last two games they have gained 4 points with a win at Huddersfield and a draw against Bournemouth. What has been encouraging with Roy Hodgson’s side is that they are scoring goals, with 8 goals in their past four matches they are not playing like a side who could be relegated.
