Big Sam Allardyce: Watford ‘safe’ from drop

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce believes Watford’s relegation worries are over, after a victory that deepened his side’s woes.

“What (Watford) have done now is they are safe, they won’t go down,” Allardyce said. “Now, the manager can tell you different — I’m telling you now they won’t go down, there’s no chance.

“If they have a bad run or not, they won’t get relegated on what they have achieved up to now, and I think it’s because the front two are so good.
