Game Day - Wigan Athletic

Another must win for both squads as the battle to avoid relegation continues. The Latics come to Vicarage Road only 7 pts. ahead of Watford. A win here would put the Hornets clear of last, but a loss (and probably a draw) would leave Watford needing to defeat a much stronger team than Wigan to stay up next year.

For Watford, Foster, Stewart, & MacKay are coming off injuries but should be fit to play. Star striker Camara returns for Wigan and John Filan fills the net as two of their keepers, Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt, are sidelined.

Watford is a slight favorite according to the bookies. Kick-off is 1:45 St. Louis time. Go 'Orns!
