Last season's Football League Championship runners-up Watford FC (10-14-7, 37 points) will try to put an end to their current losing slide as they face equally reeling team Everton FC (9-10-11, 38 points) at the Vicarage Road on April 9th, Saturday as the 2015-2016 Premier League season continues.
Watford is on a four-game losing streak and has not won in five of their last six outings. They are settled at the 14th spot of the league table, 10 points adrift of the bottom three relegation zone.
The Hornets were demolished by third-running team Arsenal, 4-0, on the road at the Emirates Stadium during their most recent top flight game last Saturday, as per SkySports.
Head coach Quique Sánchez Flores' squad was unable to respond to the Gunners' attacks throughout the match, allowing them to score two goals in each half.
The first half ended with the hosts building a two-point lead courtesy of goals from forwards Alexis Sanchez and Alex Iwobi at the fourth and 38th minutes. The onslaught continued in the second half as defender Héctor Bellerín netted one at the 48th while forward Theo Walcott, who subbed for Iwobi sixteen minutes before full time, sealed the win right at the 90th.
Meanwhile, Everton dropped their third game in a row, this time losing to the streaking Manchester United, 1-0, at the Old Trafford last Sunday, as reported by BBC Sport.
French forward Anthony Martial scored the lone goal in the match for Louis van Gaal's side at the 54th minute for United's second straight win.
The Toffees are currently in the 12th spot of the league table, 11 points above the relegation zone with still eight games left in their current Premier League campaign.
The team is reeling right now with four losses in their last six outings and they are looking to string a few wins in order to avoid the possibility of demotion to the Championship next season.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 win for Everton to hand Watford its fifth straight loss.
Watford starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Gomes; Nyom, Prödl, Cathcart, Ake; Abdi, Watson, Suarez, Capoue; Deeney, Ighalo
Everton starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Joel; Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Baines; McCarthy, Barkley, Cleverley; Deulofeu, Lukaku, Lennon
