Tonda Eckert was able to breathe a sigh of relief in gameweek 30 as goals from Finn Azaz and Flynn Downes sealed a 2-0 away win against Stoke. The Saints have responded to a challenging run with seven points from their last three league games.
Watford were rocked by news of Javi Gracia's resignation ahead of their trip to the MKM Stadium on Tuesday night to take on Hull.

Saturday's visitors are looking to end a five-match winless streak at St. Mary's Stadium.
