Struggling team Watford FC (6-10-4, 22 points) will look to snap a five-game winless spell as the team clashes with newly-promoted club Middlesbrough FC (4-9-7, 19 points) on Jan. 14, Saturday at the Vicarage Road as the 2016-2017 Premier League season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Watford has not tasted a win since their high-scoring 3-2 victory over Everton early last month. The team is currently in the 14th spot of the English top flight table, seven points above the bottom three relegation zone.
The Hornets are coming off a 0-2 blanking in the hands of middling squad Stoke City on the road at the Bet365 Stadium on Jan. 3, as per ESPN.
Stoke defender Robert Shawcross and forward Peter Crouch netted the game's two goals in the 45th+3 and 49th minutes of the match respectively to hand head coach Walter Mazzarri's side their third shutout loss in their last four defeats.
Watford will be looking to redeem themselves from their previous poor performances as they face fellow reeling team Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough has been winless in five of their last six outings to drop to the 16th place in the overall standings, only four points above the bottom three area and three points below Watford.
In their most recent match on Jan. 2, the Boro was able to hold defending champions Leicester City to a 0-0 draw at their home ground of Riverside Stadium to snap a two-game losing skid, SkySports reported.
Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Ramirez had the game's best chance in the 83rd minute, but his shot was wide of Leicester's goal.
The Foxes almost came away with the victory, though, but Welsh midfielder Andy Kings' header deep into injury time was blocked by Middlesbrough keeper Brad Guzan.
