Match preview

Watford performed fairly well against a superior Leicester team at the weekend and they can take another step towards safety against Burnley.

The Hornets looked dangerous on the break against Leicester, even without Gerard Deulofeu in the side, and Troy Deeney proved a good foil for Roberto Pereyra and Ismaila Sarr.

Nigel Pearson’s side are unlikely to be caught out by Burnley at set-plays, which are one of their main attacking options.

The Clarets were run ragged by Manchester City on Monday and a 5-0 defeat may have damaged their confidence.

The short turnaround is unlikely to help the home side either and they could be vulnerable.

Key stat

Burnley have won just two of their last six home league games
