5 Premier League Clubs that will be battling it out to avoid relegation this season

Watford Manager- Javi Garcia

Honestly, if you have to put money on one club being relegated this season then sadly, Watford is that club.

No disrespect to their new manager Javi Garcia but by letting Marco Silva go, the club has significantly increased its chances of being relegated this season.

After an incredible first half of the season, Watford finished the season in 14th place. A sign that tough times were looming ahead. Not considering the relegated teams, Watford had the second-worst defensive record last season, letting in 64 goals in 38 games.

The lack of an experienced manager at the helm of the club and a relatively inexperienced squad could be the cause of downfall for Watford this season. Sadly, so far, their transfer business too has been ordinary, to say the least.

All the other clubs that will be battling it out to avoid relegation next season have an experienced campaigner leading them, and have used the transfer window to add quality to their ranks. Watford lack in both these areas and therefore, a tough-time awaits the club.

Predicted Finish- 20th
