Crystal Palace vs Watford

Crystal Palace will be looking to inflict more misery on Watford when the Hornets head to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. Tyrick Mitchell should start at left-back after missing a couple of games, but Nathan Ferguson’s injury woes continue – the former West Brom man is unlikely to appear again this season. That victory ended Palace’s run of four matches without one, and moved the Eagles onto 41 points – enough for them to begin planning for another year of Premier League football. A top-half finish is still within reach for Palace, who head into the weekend two points adrift of 10th place.

THIS WAS Roy Hodgson's second Palace visit in just four days.But in contrast to Wednesday's trip to Buckingham Palace to collect his CBE for servi.

It was going to require a Herculean effort in the second half or the most inspirational of Hodgson team talks to get underperforming Watford back in this match in the second half. Three more matches remain now for Watford but sadly for Hodgson – who has overseen more than 1,200 matches from the dugout – his well-travelled career is finishing with this failure. The sunglasses – which he recently wore following a nasty bout of shingles – were gone and he was able to say goodbye to his boyhood club. A back-post header from Michael Olise struck the outstretched left hand of the leaping Hassane Kamara, who had his back turned, and a penalty was immediately awarded. For a man who loves reading the finest works of literature, this was one brutal twist plot in the closing chapter. But in contrast to Wednesday’s trip to Buckingham Palace to collect his CBE for services to football, this time there was no fanfare, Royal red carpet or smiles for the cameras.

Foster kept Watford in the contest with a string of fine saves, ensuring Palace's dominance did not reflect on the scoreline, but his team mates offered little in attack and fell to their sixth straight league defeat. The visitors needed a win and a mathematical swing to keep alive their dwindling hopes of surviving the drop but their timid display meant Palace comfortably kept Watford at arm's length. Palace were awarded a penalty following a VAR check for handball by Hassane Kamara and Zaha stepped up to slot home his 13th goal of the season after sending Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster the wrong way.

Hodgson, 74, is set to retire from top-level management when his contract at the Hertfordshire club expires at the end of the season, ending his long and distinguished career on a bitter note after suffering his first Premier League relegation. Former Palace boss Hodgson, who left the Croydon club at the end of last season after four years in charge, arrived at Vicarage Road in January to try and save Watford from being relegated after they had slumped to 19th place. Palace were awarded a penalty following a VAR check for handball by Hassane Kamara and Zaha stepped up to slot home his 13th goal of the season after sending Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster the wrong way.

Patrick Vieira has made five changes to his Crystal Palace starting XI for today's Premier League clash with Watford.

Eze will be hoping to follow up on his first goal of the season, scored last week against the Saints, while Gallagher is chasing a first goal since the reverse fixture against the Hornets. Tyrick Mitchell once again sits out of the starting XI as a result but starts on the bench this afternoon as he did at St Mary's. A win would also see Watford joining Norwich next season in the Championship, condemning former Palace boss Roy Hodgson to his first-ever relegation from the top flight.

Crystal Palace beat 10-man Watford at Selhurst Park as the Hornets' relegation from the Premier League was finally confirmed.

They have a great balance about this team and they are stacked with talented youngster. 3. Eagles eager to kick on: They now have a chance to push for Europe and if they can keep Zaha, maybe loan Conor Gallagher once again and buy a top striker who can score 15-20 goals, Palace are in business. Yes, they have some talented players in attack but they never looked comfortable back in the Premier League. If they had more of a cutting edge they could have pushed for Europe but this has still been a very good season for Patrick Vieira’s side. 2. A familiar story as Watford go down: This could have been the Watford team we watched get relegated in the 2019-20 campaign. All season long Palace have pushed the big boys all the way, they reached the FA Cup semifinal and have played lovely football.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford: An unhappy return to Selhurst Park for former manager Roy Hodgson, as Hassane Kamara was sent-off for the visitors.

The match had the feel of a pre-season friendly now and eventually Watford’s suffering came to an end. When Olise headed Ebere Eze’s cross onto the hand of Kamara, referee Graham Scott was left with the easy task of pointing to the spot. Hodgson, who received a CBE at Buckingham Palace in midweek, saw his 19th-placed side struggle throughout and defeat confirmed they will be back in the Sky Bet Championship next season.
