The English Premier League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Watford play host to Leeds United at the Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday.
The Hornets are on an eight-game losing streak on home turf and will head into this match seeking to end their dry spell.
Watford suffered another blow in their bid to avoid the drop when they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday.
That followed a 2-1 victory away to Southampton that saw their four-game winless run come to an end.
With 22 points from 30 games, Watford are in the penultimate position in the EPL standings, four points above rock-bottom Norwich City.
Meanwhile, Leeds were denied their third consecutive victory as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton.
Before that, they ended their eight-game winless run with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City on March 13 before seeing off Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 five days later.
Leeds are 16th in the Premier League standings after picking up 30 points from 31 games.
