In the last match, they have won at home against Leicester City by (2-1), after in the previous match they have lost (1-0) an away match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Watford comes to this day fully motivated, having returned to victories in the Premier League, beating Leicester at home 2-1. Due to the less positive phase, the coach and the players were very criticized, since the team registered four consecutive defeats. However, this game against Swansea is a good opportunity to recover some lost points.

In this home game coach Marco Silva must keep the team in the usual 4-2-3-1, with Richarlison being Watford’s most offensive reference. On the other hand, midfielder Doucouré is the best score of the team, with 6 goals scored. The defensive set pieces and the passing game are some of Watford’s weak points. For this game the coach does not have Deeney, suspended, in addition to Kaboul, Hoban and Chalobah, due to injury.

Swansea City:

The away team is currently in the 20 th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 13 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (1-1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Liverpool by (5-0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 18 conceded.

In this competition, he has lost the last 7 games away and has not won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency has not been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 11 times and never got the comeback.

Swansea is one of the strong candidates to go down to the English second division and is currently five points behind West Ham, the first team outside the relegation zone. In the last match for this competition, the visitors lost on Liverpool, 5-0, adding the fourth game in a row without tasting the victory.

In this difficult game as a visitor, coach Leon Britton must keep the team in 4-3-3, benefiting the defensive organization and counterattacks: Routledge is a very important player in the organization of the offensive process. However, the great highlight of the home team is forward Tamy Abraham, with 4 goals and 1 assist. The completion is one of the weaknesses of this training. For this game the coach can not count on Bartley, Bony and Sun-yueng, players recovering from injury.
