THE PREDICTION
Both teams suffered defeat on Boxing Day and will be keen to bounce back although the greater urgency is with the visitors. They sit five points above the drop zone and Benitez's men are likely to take a defensive approach to Vicarage Road once again so do not expect many goals in this one.
