GeminiNorwich City vs Watford is available to watch live in the UK. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Norwich City host Watford at Carrow Road in a Championship fixture that carries real weight for both clubs sitting deep in the lower half of the table.
Philippe Clement's Norwich side come into this match having won just one of their last five league games. That victory came on the road against Charlton Athletic, but defeats to Portsmouth, Southampton, Swansea City, and Bolton Wanderers have left the Canaries in a precarious position.
Watford arrive in a similarly troubled state under Alessio Dionisi. The Hornets have taken just three points from their last five outings, with their only win coming against Charlton. A 5-1 defeat at Cardiff and a 4-0 loss at home to Burnley in that run paint a difficult picture.
Both clubs are locked in a battle to climb away from the relegation zone, and three points here would provide a significant boost to whichever side can take them.
