Huddersfield host Watford conscious that anything other than a win leaves them at risk of getting dragged into the relegation dogfight with four games to play. Those final four matches consist of trips to Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as hosting Everton and Arsenal. “It feels like before [last season] in the play-offs,” said David Wagner, the Huddersfield manager. “Everyone wanted to find out where it ends.” Watford have not scored away from home since 2 January but if they can register one in west Yorkshire, they may just put the seal on Premier League survival.
