Watford host struggling Fulham at Vicarage Road on Tuesday evening.
An eighth defeat on the bounce has left Fulham staring down the barrel. Fulham were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City on Saturday.
Fulham will be aiming to do something they have failed to do all season: Win away from home. The Cottagers have picked up just two points on their travels, conceding 40 goals in the process.
Scott Parker’s side are 16 points from safety. With just six games remaining, they look set to play in the Championship next season.
Watford slipped down to 10th after a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday. The visitors were 2-0 down when Abdoulaye Doucoure netted a late consolation goal. Watford played well enough to earn a point but it wasn’t to be for Javi Gracia’s men.
Watford are unbeaten in their last five matches at Vicarage Road, winning their last three there in all competitions.
The Hornets have a game in hand over the two sides above them, and a win on Tuesday could potentially see them leapfrog Wolves, Leicester and Everton into 7th position.
With a mid-table finish looking very likely, Watford can afford to shift all their attention to Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Wolves at Wembley.
The sides drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage in September. Gray opened the scoring before Mitrovic equalised for Fulha
Fulham's relegation from the Premier League after a brief one-year sojourn could be confirmed at Vicarage Road in midweek.
After suffering an eighth successive loss to quadruple-chasers Manchester City at the weekend in a match in which they failed to register a single shot on target at home, another defeat on Tuesday night would confirm their 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 putrid 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 Watford outfit that 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 next Sunday.
