The party is meandering to a tame end for the Hornets

The rise of Leicester City in the first half of the season masked a similarly outstanding run by the newly promoted Watford side – a run which saw the Hornets rise to as high as 6th in the League. However, all signs of that verve and fight have fizzled out.
The Hornets are too dependent on their strike partnership of Tory Deeney and Odion Ighalo – the latter was at one point challenging to be the League’s top scorer. Since then, Watford’s decline has coincided with Ighalo’s prolonged lull in form, peppered only by the goal he scored in the win over Arsenal in the FA Cup.
Without these two, who might leave come the summer, Watford will find Premier League survival extremely difficult as they just can’t find a way to score in case Plan A doesn’t work.
