League Standings

The Hornets sit just a point outside the play-offs. It's been a rollercoaster of a season with lots of ups and downs. Watford find themselves in a weird position where they have struggled to put together a long run of form. They seem to get their fortunes in short spells. They come into this fixture winless in four, but had won four in a row prior. Gracia's squad has a lot of undeniable talent, with lots of potential. But if they really want to push for the play-offs then these players need to step up on a more consistent basis. It's hard to tell which Watford will turn up on Saturday.

Swansea are a strange one, simialr to Watford they have been through spells of both winning and losing and currently find themselves down in 16th, just seven points clear of the drop. Matos's side have won two of their last five and look like a much better side since the start of the new year. Of course they are close to the relegation zone, but they are equally as close to the play-offs just eight points off that. For Swansea they will be looking to stay up, but a run of wins could change their ambitions completley and shock the Championship.
