Both these sides had good wins in their last Premier League matches. Crystal Palace are 12th in the table, while Watford climbed to 17th after their 3-0 home win over Liverpool. Crystal Palace are now nine points above the relegation zone and only six points behind fifth place. Qualification for the Europa League isn't out of the question after two straight wins. They had lost three in a row before wins over Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion. Home form is still a worry though with only one win in their last four league games at Selhurst Park with just two goals scored.

Watford had that great win last week and it'd be a big let down if failing to build on that. They are out of the relegation zone but only just. They have the same number of points as 18th placed Bournemouth with a goal difference just one better than them. The win over Liverpool ended a run of six league and cup game. Their away form is a problem with just one win in their last eight away league games but only two of the last five have been lost. They earned draws at both Sheffield United and Brighton, so a point at least at Selhurst Park looks within their capabilities. If Watford can build on the confidence they'll have gotten from the win over Liverpool, a double chance bet on them winning or drawing this game looks well worth making.
