Fresh off the back of ending their 12-game winless streak, Watford welcome Crystal Palace to the Vicarage Road Stadium on Wednesday.
Following their defeat against Chelsea last time out, the Eagles are now without a league win in six consecutive games and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Watford finally gave their fans something to cheer for last Saturday when they claimed a hard-fought win over Aston Villa courtesy of Emmanuel Dennis’ solitary strike.
Prior to that, the Hornets were on a 15-game winless run, dating back to a 4-1 win over Manchester United back in November.
The win brought no change to the shape of the EPL table as Watford remain in the relegation zone with 18 points from 24 games.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace will feel disappointed to have come out empty-handed against Chelsea last time out as they lost 1-0 through Hakim Ziyech’s 89th-minute winner.
While they have progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup, claiming impressive wins over Millwall and Hartlepool United, the Eagles are now without a league win in six consecutive outings.
With 26 points from 25 games, Crystal Palace are currently 13th in the EPL standings, six points off Southampton in the top half of the table.
