The season has been a struggle for Watford so far, and you could say the same about Everton. The bottom dwellers hope for some much needed points here.
- Watford have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Premier League
- Everton have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Watford have had a bad season and will be relegated from Premier League.
It's no vacation for neither Watford nor Everton as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Watford form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 14 defeats from their home games, Watford are certainly not brimming with confidence. Watford are slowly digging their own grave here at Vicarage Road with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Manchester United match.
The supporters are hoping that Watford will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Crystal Palace (placed 10th). Foster had a busy but productive day in the Crystal Palace match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Defender Femenía got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.41/10. Femenía hit four key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Burnley (1-2).The match schedule is unforgiving for Watford as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Leicester City are visiting.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Watford here at Vicarage Road in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 17 games). Watford are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (41 from 17 played).
Everton form and stats
Everton have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-3-12 (17 played).
It's the second away game in a row for Everton, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Leicester City (placed 14th) last time out. Everton goalie Pickford was high and low in the Leicester City game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Chelsea.After this away game Everton return home for a Premier League game against Brentford. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Everton as they have only managed to score 15 times from 17 away games in the league. For Everton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. When Everton is visiting a side on the bottom half, 4 of 5 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Southampton, Norwich City, Leeds United, Leicester City, Everton and Burnley.
