When Alan Pardew said last week's point at Swansea felt like a win, it was an indication of how relieved he was to halt their slide. He'll now be hoping with home advantage they can get back to winning ways.

Preview Continued Below.....

The more match fit and sharp Emmanuel Adebayor becomes will only help their cause, as will the eventual return of Yannick Bolasie.

Having faced Chelsea and Spurs in quick succession, Watford may relish this capital meeting a little more.

Their defeat at White Hart Lane when Troy Deeney came off the bench was a reminder of how important their captain's influence is. He'll look to ensure his team are still above Palace in the table.
