Watford vs Burnley LIVE: Latest Premier League score and goal updates from this afternoon’s 3pm fixtures

Follow live updates as Burnley look to continue their late survival push into a six-point Premier League relegation streak against Watford. Since the shock dismissal of Sean Dyche, Burnley have picked up seven points from three games under caretaker boss Mike Jackson to overtake Everton in the table. A win at Watford this afternoon would move Burnley five points ahead of Everton’s home game against Chelsea tomorrow.
But Watford have a lot to play for themselves and are hoping to end their miserable run without a win to salvage any belated hopes of avoiding immediate relegation to the Championship. Roy Hodgson’s side have lost 10 games in a row at Vicarage Road – a run dating back to a 4-1 win over Manchester United in October – and another defeat would leave them seven points behind with just four games to play.
A Burnley victory would also relegate Norwich, should Dean Smith’s side lose to Aston Villa. The Canaries are 10 points behind Burnley and relegation would be upheld if results elsewhere do not go their way and Smith is beaten by his former side at Villa Park. Meanwhile, Southampton hosts Crystal Palace and Wolves take on Brighton in mid-table clashes.
