Premier League preview and odds: Watford vs Everton
April 09, 2016 15:00pm - Vicarage Road Stadium
Premier League
Two of the Premier Leagues out-of-form teams will go head-to-head on Saturday as 14th-ranked Watford take on 12th-ranked Everton at Vicarage Road with just a point separating the sides.
Two wins in 14 for Watford
After an impressive start to the season that saw them challenging for the European places, Watford seemed to run out of steam. A run of 14 games featuring two wins, three draws and nine defeats has left the Hornets hovering just out of danger in 14th place in the table.
Quique Sanchez Flores appears to have achieved his target of keeping his team in the top flight but he will have been disappointed with their performances in recent weeks. They come into this game on the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the hand of Arsenal.
Everton stronger away from home
Everton are just one point above Watford in the Premier League table, although they have played one game less. Overall, it has been a disappointing season for Roberto Martinez and his men who look set to finish in the bottom half of the table for the second season running.
The biggest issue for the Toffees has been their poor home form. Away from home, they have lost just two of their last 15 league matches, having won six and drawn the other seven. They come into this match having lost four of their last five league matches including a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United last time out.
Team news
Watford have a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Meanwhile, the visitors will have to make do without the injured trio of Steven Pienaar, Tyias Browning and Tony Hibbert.
Recent form (League)
Watford: LLLLD
