Watford form and stats
A depressing six defeats in a row for Watford in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Brighton & Hove Albion.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Oxford United (after extra-time) in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup match ended in a draw 1-1. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Daniel Bachmann had red hot gloves after the game against Oxford United (after extra-time), shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made.
