Watford and Walter Mazzarri at a crossroads in the Premier League

For the wider world, Monday night is all about Chelsea. The Blues will play in front of an adoring Stamford Bridge crowd for the first time since securing the Premier League title and the supporters will be there to party. The gooseberries for the evening are an increasingly hapless looking Watford, who despite losing their last four games to nil, also have something to celebrate. Premier League safety.

The Hornets' Premier League status for next season was confirmed when Crystal Palace dismantled Hull City on Sunday morning, condemning the Tigers to the rough and tumble of the Championship and allowing supporters of Palace, Swansea and indeed Watford to breathe a sigh of relief.
