Watford preview: Last chance to join the race for the playoffs?

With 49 points from 36 games, Watford are currently 11th in the standings and most likely bound for a mid-table finish. That being said, with 10 rounds left in this Championship season and Watford being six points behind the last playoff spot, they still have some chance of finishing in Top 6, but they'd have to be nearly perfect to achieve this.

Meanwhile, Daniel Bachmann, Kwadwo Baah, Kevin Keben, and Pierre Dwomoh are all sidelined with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Selvik (GK), Ngakia, Pollock, Abankwah, Wiley, Louza, Dele-Bashiru, Ince, Kayembe, Chakvetadze & Bayo

Swansea preview: On a solid run in recent games

With two wins and one draw in their last three games in the league, the Welsh team have done well and managed to get even further away from the relegation zone. Swansea are now 15th in the standings and 12 points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone, so it's safe to say that we'll be watching them in the Championship next season as well.

On the injury front, Myles Peart-Harris and Kristian Pedersen are currently out of contention.

Predicted lineup: Vigouroux (GK), Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymon, Goncalo Franco, O'Brien, Ronald, Cullen, Eom & Vipotnik
