HOW THINGS STAND
Watford sit in 17th, just a point above the drop zone, whilst Norwich occupy 18th place.
The Hornets have two games in hand on tonight's opponents, but a loss this evening would see the sides switch places. Watford would fall into the bottom three whilst Norwich finally with their heads above water for the first time this season.
Three points for the home side though will make great reading for Hornet's fans. They would go four points clear of the releagtion places.
This is a big one!
