BURNLEY
Burnley are bottom of the Premier League table standings with 12 points from 18 matches. They have won only 1 game so far this season, against Brentford back in October. Failure to win here will make it 10 matches in all competitions without a win.
COVID-19 has been devastating to Burnley and they had several of their games postponed. They currently have 2 games in hand over Watford on 14 points, 3 games over 18th-placed Newcastle with 15 points, and 4 games over Norwich in 17th place with 16 points. If Burnley can win their games in hand starting with this fixture, they will be able to climb out of the relegation zone.
Manager Sean Dyche has tried to bolster his team’s attack by bringing in the tall 6-ft 6-inch striker Wout Weghorst from the Bundesliga. The Clarets are hoping he will be a useful addition to their physical style of football, and he will be able to get crucial goals to save their season.
WATFORD
A 3-0 loss to fellow relegation strugglers Norwich City before the international break saw the sacking of Claudio Ranieri after just 3 months as Watford coach. During Ranieri’s stint, Watford lost 8, drew 1, and only won once – the famous 4-1 thumping of Manchester United to trigger the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from Old Trafford.
New manager Roy Hodgson has plenty of experience managing in the Premier League but a tough task still awaits him. It would help to look at the defense, which has failed to keep a clean sheet since February 2020. With dependable striker Emmanuel Dennis missing due to suspension, it may not be the perfect start Roy would have wanted.

Our Betting Tip
Burnley earned a crucial point when they were able to keep Arsenal at bay in the 0-0 draw in their last match. Their defensive display should be good enough to get them a positive result against Watford who have only 3 goals in the last 5 matches.
For Watford, another chapter begins under a new manager who has to improve their defense and overall performance otherwise he will follow his predecessors. This is likely to be a tight, low-scoring game with Burnley the more likely to nick a win here. You get more insights on how to make your picks from our betting strategies page.
