Both sides come into this game needing a win. Watford start the weekend in ninth place but that's eight points behind Arsenal in seventh place and the same number of points above the relegation zone. That shows how close the Premier League is this season apart from the title race of course which already looks won by Manchester City. Watford are struggling for form at present with only a single point from their last four league games. On Tuesday, they led at Crystal Palace for 86 minutes before ending up losing the game 2-1. They have conceded in their last four league games and five of their last six home matches. Watford are still a dangerous team when at their best and this game offers them a good opportunity to get back in winning ways. Huddersfield Town had a welcome home win last week over struggling Brighton and Hove Albion but followed that up with a 3-1 home loss to Chelsea. They start the weekend in 12th place but only four points above the bottom three. That win over Brighton and Hove Albion is their only win in their last six games and the other five have all ended in defeats for the Yorkshire club. Away form started with a 3-0 win at Crystal Palace but that's their last away win and also the last time they scored on their travels. Their last five away games have all ended in defeat by an aggregate score of 16-0. This isn't too easy to predict given Watford's recent problems but they have the ability to get a home win in this game.
