Watford are now just one win away from returning to the Premier League following their win over Norwich City and with results elsewhere also going their way.

Brentford could only manage a draw at home against Cardiff City, while Swansea City were beaten at home by a late goal in their game with Queens Park Rangers, putting Xisco Munoz's men within touching distance of the top flight.

The Swans sit directly behind the Hornets in third place, but tonight's results mean the gap between the two teams has been stretched to nine points. 

The South Wales club have only three games remaining, meaning the best they can hope to do is close the gap and finish level on points with Watford.

However, their goal difference is far inferior to the Hornets' so doing even that would likely not be enough for them, unless they can swing that difference in their favour by 14 goals.

Brentford meanwhile remain the most likely competitors for second place, with a game in hand on both Watford and Swansea, but their failure to win this evening means that they are now ten points adrift of the second automatic promotion spot.

With 12 points up for grabs for them, the Bees could catch and overtake the Hornets, should they win all their remaining games and Watford fail to pick up more than one point from theirs.

However, one more win for Watford would take them to 88 points, one more than Brentford can accumulate by picking up victories in all four of their final fixtures, and would send them straight back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
