Watford take on Crystal Palace in a crucial game for their hopes of survival as the final third of the season approaches.

Roy Hodgson has enjoyed a positive impact since arriving at the club with the former England manager overseeing an excellent victory over Aston Villa at the weekend.

The Hornets sit four points short of Newcastle, who are in 17th, having played the same number of games. A victory over off-colour Palace would tighten up the pack once more.

Crystal Palace sit in no man’s land once again. They’re 13th without a Premier League victory in 2022.

Patrick Vieira has shown plenty of promise in the hot-seat but he knows that more will be expected of him the longer he sits in it. Sliding towards a relegation battle would not be a good look considering some of the talents at his disposal.

Our prediction: Watford v Crystal Palace

Watford have been a rock and roll unit all season with some high-scoring defeats littering their journey so far. Hodgson appears to be changing that.

The Hornets have looked tighter and more robust in their outings under Hodgson so far. Had Jarrod Bowen’s effort not deflected beyond Ben Foster, they’d have recorded clean sheets against West Ham and Aston Villa, and all of the attacking forces each team boasts.

However, Palace have a deep arsenal to choose from when it comes to picking the Watford lock.

Our prediction: Watford 1-1 Crystal Palace (11/2 at bet365)
