Watford’s next Premier League match will be at home against Norwich next Saturday.

He said: “It is a huge game but it is not the end of the season, nobody will be relegated at the end of the weekend”.
The former FC Lorient player who scored the second of Aston Villa’s two goals has backed his team to avoid relegation despite the hard time the club is facing at the moment. Unfortunately for Watford, they are unlikely to be as bad this weekend as they were under Tim Sherwood’s management. I was there for many years. Giedrius Arlauskis, who played for Lithuania against England in last month’s European Championship qualifier, came on for his Premier League debut.
They’re now in 13th, and while their 2-0-3 record in their last five matches doesn’t seem great, it’s one that betters Villa’s past five by five points.
Garde, a defensive midfielder during his players days, has seen his defence leak seven in two games and the French coach has called for changes in personnel to be made after the poor start.
“I’m not big on stats but I think we’ve run the least in the Premier League – if you’re not prepared to run the extra yard for your team mate then obviously you’re going to concede chances”. I was always more interested in chasing girls at the park. I think we deserved a point. He is Villa’s best option as a goalscorer.
The Watford fans sing his name to Spandau Ballet’s Gold – and the Nigerian striker is worth his weight in it. He has been involved in 75% of the Hornets’ goals, but he is far more than a frontman. It is now or never for Villa and backing them for a win with bet365 may seem optimistic but at home with a Watford side possibly looking to attack, Villa could break their duck and sneak a win.
“The stadium is a very very tough stadium to win there so we have to prepare very well because if not we have the opportunity to lose”.

With Jordan Ayew and Rudy Gestede leading the way on just three goals, Garde may consider using the January transfer market for an urgent loan deal. The result is that Villa keep losing by narrow margins.
