Prediction

  • Burnley have now not won in four games and have been replaced at the top of the table by Leicester.
  • Sean Dyche’s side will be desperate to get back on track after defeat at Huddersfield on Saturday.
  • Watford are on their worst run of form since Gianfranco Zola took charge and are now five points adrift of the playoff spots.
  • Zola will be feeling the pressure, although their away form is far superior than at home and so this clash is looking like a must win for both sides.
