Manchester United v Watford - Premier League
Watford's away form has been disappointing

Watford may have survived the drop for the third straight season, but it has been their form at Vicarage Road that has got them over the line this time around.

Their form on their travels has been shocking in 2018 - one goal and one point in 12 games since the turn of the year, with only Andre Gray finding the net in a 3-1 defeat to champions, Manchester City.

Their chance creation, as was evident from this game, has not been a problem, but their inability to convert chance into goals has been their biggest pet-peeve.

Richarlison's pace was a threat to Darmian in the closing stages, but he was unable to get his head up and locate targets in better positions to shoot than he was. Andre Gray's movement in the box needs to improve if he wishes to get in between defenders and receive crosses.

Manager Javi Gracia has work to do in the goalscoring department before The Hornets get the wagon rolling next season
