For both sides, three points here would be absolutely massive. Burnley still have a chance of European football, and Watford will want to finish in the top half. The Hornets have had a mixed time under Javi Gracia, while Burnley have found renewed vigour after three wins on the spin.

Watford head into this one with a huge deal of injury worries. The fact that Miguel Britos is still ill is a problem, while the loss of Younes Kaboul, Gerard Deulofeu, Tom Cleverley, Christian Kabasele and Nathaniel Chalobah means they are light on numbers.
The drop-off in form of the likes of star turn Richarlison is a major worry, too. They simply don’t look the same side since his drop, having not scored since November. Coach Gracia is limited in options for this weekend.

Away News
Meanwhile, Burnley have a few issues of their own. The loss of Robbie Brady long-term was a huge blow, as is the loss of Scott Arfield and Steven Defour. While the likes of Jonathan Walters rarely play, the Ireland international is out, as well.
As such, Burnley come into this one knowing they are light on numbers and in depth. The likes of Jeff Hendrick, though fit again, might need to sit out while Burnley stick with a tried and trusted side. The lack of numbers has forced manager Sean Dyche to play it safe with his selections, and we expect no different here.
Key Match-Up
The match-up between Aaron Lennon and Jose Holebas should be an interesting one. Lennon and teammate Matthew Lowton are a good pairing on the right-hand side, with Holebas showing his age at times in recent weeks. This should be a very interesting match-up, and could help determine the result.
