Watford appear to be looking for their fourth managerial appointment of the season, as they sit just above the bottom three and have Manchester City and Arsenal left to play.
They fired Javi Gracia a few months in and replaced him with former boss Quique Sanchez Flores who lasted a few months before Pearson was appointed in early December.
Pearson had a big impact early on as Watford won four of his first six games including wins over Manchester United, Wolves, Aston Villa and Bournemouth, while they also became the first team to beat Liverpool this season.
However, the Hornets have won two of their last eight games and are in a dangerous position heading into the final two games of the season.
There’s no doubt this Watford team has plenty of talent with the likes of Abdoulaye Doucoure, Ismaila Sarr, Etienne Capoue, Troy Deeney and Roberto Pereyra in attack but defensively goalkeeper Ben Foster hasn’t had a lot of help this season.
