Watford vs Fulham LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Vicarage Road
Fulham's relegation from the Premier League could be confirmed at Vicarage Road tonight.
After suffering an eighth successive loss to quadruple-chasers Manchester City at the weekend, another defeat tonight against Watford would confirm Fulham's place alongside Huddersfield in next season's Championship.
The 2018-19 play-off winners are currently 16 points adrift of safety in 19th with only six matches remaining and their woeful defensive record - 72 goals conceded in just 32 games - is comfortably the worst in the top-flight.
Looking to condemn Scott Parker's side to an immediate return to the second tier are a Hornets outfit who were unfortunate to suffer a slender defeat to Manchester United at the weekend, and who have the small matter of an FA Cup semi-final clash with Wolves to come at Wembley on Sunday.

Score prediction: Watford 2-0 Fulham
The Hornets, currently 10th on 43 points, had long spells of possession against United at the weekend and may well have secured at least a point had their finishing been of a higher standard.
If they manage to remedy that and do not allow themselves to be distracted by their looming date at Wembley, then it is very difficult to envisage anything other than a straightforward home victory that would relegate their reeling opponents.

Head to Head history and results (h2h)
All three previous Premier League matches involving these two sides have ended in draws, including the first top-flight meeting for 11 years in September, which finished 1-1 after Mitrovic's late effort at Craven Cottage cancelled out a Gray goal scored inside 90 seconds.
