Pundit’s prediction?
“Swansea’s run of five wins in six games in October seems a world away now, given they are eight without a win now,” David Prutton told Sky Sports. “Last time out, against Reading, they dominated the ball and generated an xG figure of 2.75, yet lost 2-1.
“Meanwhile, Watford have not delivered particularly convincing performances since the Championship restarted and were well beaten by Millwall on Boxing Day. I think they could well fall to a second straight defeat in South Wales.”
David Prutton’s prediction: Swansea City 2-1 Watford
Who is the referee?
John Busby will take charge of proceedings in south Wales. The Oxfordshire-based official will be assisted by Nigel Lugg and Mark Pottage. Gavin Ward is the fourth official.
