Comments:

Final league position 2015-16: 13th This was Watford's highest final league position since they finished ninth in League Division One in 1986-87. This was manager Quique Sanchez Flores' 44th and final game in charge of the Hornets. Troy Deeney had now scored six penalties in the Premier League in 2015-16; more than any other player

Comments:

Final league position 2015-16: 17th Having avoided relegation, Sunderland were now unbeaten in their last six Premier League games and had only lost one of the last 11 (drawn seven). The Black Cats spent 237 days in the bottom three during this season. Only Southampton in 1998-99 were in the relegation zone for longer without being relegated (252 days).
