THE LOWDOWN

WATFORD

  • Watford’s relegation was confirmed at Selhurst Park as the Hornets fell to defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace and to be honest, it has been on the cards for a long period of time following a terrible run of results under Roy Hodgson.
  • The former England boss has publicly stated his intention to quit the Hornets and retire at the end of the season, but for now he must focus on this match and unfortunately for him, numerous players are expected to be out due to injury and in Hassane Kamara’s case, suspension.

EVERTON

  • Everton made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League and finally ended their long wait for an away victory in the league this past weekend, beating Leicester 1-2 at the King Power Stadium which saw them move above Leeds Utd and one point above the drop zone with a game in hand.
  • Left-back Vitalii Mykolenko should recover from a knock sustained at Leicester in time to play at Vicarage Road, but fellow defender Yerry Mina will not make after being subbed off early on due to a calf problem.

UNAVAILABLE: Mina (Injured), Patterson (Injured), Townsend (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Momentum is powerful tool in football, especially for a side fighting for their lives in a bid to avoid the dreaded Premier League drop. Everton currently boast bucketloads of it and it has led to their huge recent upturn in results. Having significantly tightened up at the back, not to mention goalkeeper Jordan Pickford being back to his brilliant best between the posts, Frank Lampard’s side have reaped their rewards and this is expected to continue against a Watford team who look to have given up on the season quite frankly. With relegation confirmed and against a team of battlers who contain a touch of class going forward which makes them capable of scoring, Everton must be favoured to subject the Hornets to a record 12th consecutive home league defeat.

Tip: EVERTON TO WIN
