 The visitors come in high spirits and buzzing having not lost a fixture in three outings, which includes a trip into the next round of the FA Cup.

Watford has struggled on the road this campaign. It’s only of recent where they’ve started picking up more points on their trips. Two loss in their last 10 games coming against Chelsea and Spurs shows how they have turned things around.

The Hornets have been amazing at protecting their goalmouth, they’ve only conceded three goals in their last eight outings across all competitions. Their failure to score more frequently has seen them share points a lot often than not.
