The Burnley vs Watford live stream is a six-pointer in every sense of the word. The home side are languishing at the foot of the EPL table, with the away side sitting just one place above. A win for Burnley would see them leapfrog Watford, but if the Hornets can take all three points they will move back out of the relegation zone.

It’s been a tough few months for Sean Dyche’s Burnley. The side has only won once all season and that victory came all the way back in October. They can at least take some comfort from a battling stalemate last time out against Arsenal. However, a positive result in this crucial fixture against Watford is of vital importance to their prospects of staying in the league.
The good news for Dyche is that summer signing Maxwel Cornet returned from the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday. The star forward starts here, although Dyche has admitted it’s important to be “careful” with his fitness as he’s already missed a chunk of the season due to injury. His return should be a huge boost to the team as Cornet has been a real bright spark in an otherwise dour campaign. He's also the side’s current top scorer with six goals.
January signing Wout Weghorst, who arrived as a replacement for the departing Chris Wood, makes his debut. The towering center forward is a somewhat controversial figure, but is seen by many as an upgrade on Wood and could be a real asset in the Clarets' fight to remain a Premier League team.
Meanwhile, Watford are hoping to enjoy yet another new manager bounce after sacking Claudio Raineri in the wake of the side’s 3-0 surrender to Norwich City. Raineri only took charge in October but was dismissed following a horrendous run of form that saw the Hornets lose seven of their last eight league fixtures.
Former Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has been recruited to steer Watford out of the relegation zone, which has been widely viewed as a fairly shrewd appointment due to his vast Premier League experience. Hodgson will be hoping his tenure gets off to the best possible start with a convincing win against Burnley.
Here's how they line up:
Burnley: Pope, Pieters, Tarkowski, Mee, Roberts; McNeil, Stephens, Westwood, Lennon; Cornet, Weghorst
Watford: Foster; Sema, Kamara, Cathcart, Femenia; Samir, Sissoko, Kucka, Kayembe; King, Joao Pedro
