Watford v Norwich City live stream, Friday 21 January, 8pm GMT
Watford and Norwich will contest a crunch relegation six-pointer at Vicarage Road on Friday night.
The Hornets ended a run of six consecutive defeats last time out, as they held Newcastle to a 2-2 draw at St James' Park. Joao Pedro levelled the scores late on to earn Claudio Ranieri's side a precious point, which keeps Watford outside the bottom three heading into the weekend.
It was no less than the visitors to the northeast deserved, but they will now be desperate to pick up their first victory since the 4-1 thrashing of Manchester United on November 20.
Norwich were also victorious last weekend, beating Everton 2-1 - a result which persuaded their opponents' board to sack Rafael Benitez. Norwich only have 13 points to their name after 21 matches, and are on course to end the campaign with just 23 to their name, yet they are just one win away from climbing out of the bottom three.
Dean Smith has certainly not given up hope of guiding the Canaries to safety, but a defeat at Vicarage Road on Friday would be a huge blow to those ambitions. This is a vital game for two sides who were promoted together from the Championship last term.
Watford will have to make do without Peter Etebo, Nicolas Nkoulou, Ismaila Sarr and Kwadwo Baah due to injury. Imran Louza, Adam Masina and William Troost-Ekong are still at the Africa Cup of Nations and will not play in the Premier League until next month. Each of their January signings, Hassane Kamara, Samir and Edo Kayembe, will be hoping to feature in some capacity.
Norwich will be unable to call upon the services of Lukas Rupp, Billy Gilmour, Andrew Omobamidele, Tim Krul and Mathias Normann for the trip to Hertfordshire. Max Aarons and Brandon Williams are expected to start after picking up knocks last weekend, while Kenny McLean is back from Covid-19.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT on Friday 21 January, and UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. 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.
