Watford host Oxford United at Vicarage Road in a Championship clash.
Victory would put Watford up to fourth ahead of the weekend’s action, whilst Oxford Utd can go ninth with a win.

Stat Attack
- Watford have lost one of their last five league meetings against Oxford Utd (W3, D1, L1).
- Oxford Utd have won one of their last five league visits to Watford (W1, D1, L3).
- Watford won each of their last two home matches against Oxford Utd in all competitions by a 2-0 result.
- Edo Kayembe has scored in each of Watford’s last two home games (W2).
- Oxford Utd are yet to win away from home in the Championship this season (D2, L4).
Prediction
Given how awful their away form is currently, Watford will be happy to be back at home where they have looked more confident but they must be more clinical than they were at Swansea.
Oxford Utd though are a solid team despite their injury crisis with just two losses in their last eight games, during which their ability to grind out five draws shows that they can be clinical as saw in their win over Hull.
Tom Cleverley’s Hornets therefore can’t underestimate their visitors but given their home form, I fancy them to get a routine result.
Prediction: Watford 2-0 Oxford Utd
Result: Watford 1-0 Oxford Utd
