Stoke City are just five points off the relegation zone, and personally, I don’t exclude them from the relegation battle. They have been unbeaten in their last four games and will have to pick up at least seven more points from the remaining 12 to be sure of safety, regardless of other results in the Championship. Although their safety looks highly possible, we must not forget that they still have crucial matches ahead of them, and they must win a game like this to build the confidence that will keep them in the Championship this season. With just four games left in the season, Stoke City will still face title favourites Leeds United, title contenders Sheffield United, and relegation fighters Derby County. The Potters are 18th on the table with 47 points in 42 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 54.
Watford: Lineup
Tom Cleverley is likely to stick with the same starting lineup that lost against West Brom, in his traditional 4-2-3-1 formation. Egil Selvik will maintain his post in goal, with Imran Louza and Tom Dele-Bashiru continuing their partnership in the middle. Good news for Watford is that Kevin Keben is back from injury and will be included in the squad for this clash. Hopefully, he gets some minutes to regain his match fitness.

Burnley: Form and statistics
From dreaming to picking up an automatic promotion ticket, Burnley have begun to feel like they can even win the Championship, which is obviously possible with the look of things. They are second on the table with 82 points in 42 games, scoring 57 goals and conceding 13. They are on the same points as Leeds United. The Clarets will still play strong opponents like Sheffield United, who are still not written off in the title race, Queens Park Rangers, and Millwall. While some of these matches look very hard to win, nothing is impossible in football. Burnley are unbeaten in their last eight games and are the best team on the road in the Championship this season, with 43 points in 21 games.
Burnley: Lineup
Burnley have enjoyed the impressive form of their defense line this season, having conceded just 13. With this, I expect Scott Parker to continue with these defenders till the rest of the season. CJ Egan-Riley and Maxime Estève are undoubtedly the best defence pair in the Championship, and I expect Josh Brownhill to continue his partnership with Zian Flemming up front. The two attackers have scored a combined 22 goals this season.
🔖Burnley starting lineup (4-4-1-1)
Goalkeeper – James Trafford
Defenders – Connor Roberts, CJ Egan-Riley, Maxime Estève, Lucas Pires,
Midfielders – Marcus Edwards, Josh Cullen, Hannibal Mejbri, Jaidon Anthony
Attackers — Josh Brownhill, Zian Flemming
⛔️ Out: Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye (injury), Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), Enock Agyei (muscle), Jonjo Shelvey (leg), Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Benson Manuel Hedilazio (ankle).
