EPL: Watford ambush Everton

Watford vs. Everton
Venue: Vicarage Road
Kick off: 4PM

Watford face Everton at Vicarage Road this afternoon in the Premier League, with the home side looking to continue their resurgence under new manager Nigel Pearson.
Watford seemed all but relegated when Pearson arrived in early December, but four Premier League wins from nine matches have allowed them to move within one point of safety.
Having taken 11 points from their last six matches Watford are now looking up, but two losses in their last two games have stunted momentum.
A defeat in their last league fixture to fellow strugglers Aston Villa was particularly damaging, while they would have been embarrassed by losing to Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup last Thursday.
The Hertfordshire club also came out on the wrong side in the reverse fixture back in August, with a second half Bernard goal sealing the 1-0 win for Everton.
Both sides have made changes in personnel since then, with Troy Deeney returning for Watford and Everton switching to a 4-4-2 under Carlo Ancelotti.
While the changes have not brought about instant success, the Italian’s side are now well clear of the relegation zone.
Everton’s away form remains poor, with the Toffees only managing two wins and nine points on the road this season.
However, in the four league away games since Ancelotti’s arrival in December they have taken five points, more than the four Silva managed between August and December.

Watford possible XI: Foster, Mariappa, Dawson, Cathcart, Masina, Doucoure, Capoue, Chalobah, Pereyra, Deeney, Deulofeu.
Everton possible XI: Pickford, Sidibe, Mina, Holgate, Digne, Walcott, Delph, Davies, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin, Kean.
