Prediction: Watford 1-0 Norwich

Anything other than a victory from this fixture will be a huge disappointment for Watford as they look to avoid a first return to the Championship since 2015.

Both sides are woefully short on both wins and goals, so this is likely to be something of a gritty spectacle short on quality and decided by the odd strike.

The Hornets to secure a narrow triumph to further heap the pressure on the likes of Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

These two sides have met just three times in the top-flight in the Premier League era, with Watford claiming two wins - including a first victory of a difficult campaign at Carrow Road in November.

Deulofeu and Andre Gray netted in a 2-0 win for a team then managed by Quique Sanchez Flores, while Christian Kabasele was sent off late on.

Norwich's sole Premier League win over Watford came in May 2016, when they were relegated back to the second tier despite a thumping 4-2 success on the day.
