Watford v Leeds United live stream, Saturday 9 April, 3pm BST
Watford will welcome Leeds to Vicarage Road on Saturday for a crunch clash at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Time is running out for the Hornets to clamber out of trouble. Roy Hodgson looked like a smart choice to replace Claudio Ranieri towards the end of January, but the veteran manager has struggled to turn the situation around at Vicarage Road. He has overseen two wins in the Premier League, but a record of six defeats in their last nine matches has left the Hornets staring relegation in the face.
All is not lost yet. Watford are three points adrift of safety; there are still 24 points up for grabs in their remaining eight fixtures. Hodgson masterminded a great escape in 2007/08 when he improbably rescued Fulham from demotion late on. As things stand, though, things are looking bleak for Watford.
Leeds have pulled clear of trouble in recent weeks after the board made the difficult decision to sack Marcelo Bielsa.
The Argentine remained popular with the Elland Road faithful until the very end, but Leeds were in danger of freefalling into the Championship unless a change was made. Under Jesse Marsch the Whites have taken seven points from the last nine available to open up a healthy buffer above the bottom three.
Kalvin Phillips could make his first start since December after returning to the bench in recent weeks. Tyler Roberts and Jamie Shackleton will miss out, while Patrick Bamford is sidelined for the rest of the season. Junior Firpo is closing in on a return from a knee injury but might only be ready for the bench on Saturday, so Stuart Dallas is in line to continue at left-back.
Watford have no fresh injury concerns to contend with, but Kwadwo Baah and Nicolas Nkoulou are still on the treatment table and will play no part here.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST on Saturday 9 April. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. 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. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
