Watford vs Everton
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 11 May 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Vicarage Road.
Watford can be rightfully termed as the absolute worst team in the competition at the moment, considering their recent form.
They have already confirmed their relegation, and it is a doubt if the players will have enough heart left to even show up for the remaining three games.
They are on a long losing streak and have been letting in goals in huge numbers all through the campaign.
It also needs to be noted that they have been the absolute worst team at home through the entirety of this league season. In fact, they are the only squad to fail to post at least 10 points from home fixtures.
Meanwhile, Everton have gotten themselves a new lease of life. At one point in the season it was thought that the team might be relegated to the Championship.
However, they have bounced back. As of now they are placed 16th in the table, with a surplus of one point over the cut off. They are also on a 2-fixture winning streak.
Moreover, of the four teams that are placed below them in the table, three of them have tough fixtures coming up this match day, and the Toffees are pitted against the 4th.
Likely, a win this Wednesday will possibly guarantee the safety of the team, and count on them to go after it with all of their might.
