Season ticket holders at Vicarage Road haven't seen too many victories this season, with Watford languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Burnley will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Watford and Burnley should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
