Watford and Bournemouth both sit above the relegation places, a pleasing sight for a promoted manager. Quique Sánchez Flores will be the happier of the two, though, as his side close in on securing top-flight status – if they win on Saturday, they will have 39 points. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe needs to spark Bournemouth into life after three successive defeats, the most recent in the FA Cup. Graham Searles
