Newcastle VS Watford on K24 TV this Saturday 15/01/2022 at EPL Maskani photo
 

Time is not on Eddie Howe's side if he has to evade the Magpies to safety. They had a run of five games without a win, including the 1-0 humiliation at home to Cambridge United in the FA Cup last weekend.


Even after Steve Bruce was eased of his duties as Newcastle manager, but Howe has only managed to secure one point more than his predecessor, and though talking of managing fewer games, during his time in control only Norwich, Everton and rivals Watford have picked up fewer points.


The Magpies form displaying under Howe shows how a team is truly in the midst of a relegation battle. The one favourable for them coming into this match is Watford.  Watford are in even worse form at present.

No success in their last six for the Hornets. They were defeated 4-1 against Leicester in the FA Cup last time out, leaves Claudio Ranieri’s men in a dangerous position.


Watford are just two points off the relegation zone and are the second dears to be relegated from the Premier League – ahead of Newcastle.


The Watford’s victory last season was due to their defensive solidity – conceding the fewest goals in the Sky Bet Championship.  Surprisingly, they have been quite so porous this season.
