Watford v Aston Villa: match preview | Football |

Aston Villa’s relegation was the worst kept secret in football until it was mercifully confirmed a couple of weeks ago. The real subplot surrounding this fixture is the future of Quique Sánchez Flores. The Spaniard guided Watford to an FA Cup semi-final and they sit safely in 12th place but just two wins in their past 11 league games has seemingly been a cause for concern for the club’s owners.
