WLDLWL

Watford will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 2-1 Championship defeat in their last game at the hands of West Bromwich Albion.

In that match, Watford managed 61% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Watford was Moussa Sissoko (76'). At the other end, West Bromwich Albion got 10 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Karlan Ahearne-Grant (11') and Mikey Johnston (60') scored for West Bromwich Albion.

Watford have found it difficult to unlock defences in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 4 against opposition teams over their last 6 fixtures. In those games, Watford have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 5. Regardless, we must now wait to see if such a trend shall continue on in this next match or not.

• have not registered a win against Burnley in their previous 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 3 home league matches.
