Watford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Watford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Luton Town. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Luton Town managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Chris Wilder will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at Vicarage Road Stadium. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Wilder will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have been performing well at Vicarage Road Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormThis Huddersfield Town side will be full of confidence going into this match against Watford, having recorded a 4-2 home win against Middlesbrough in their last league match. They achieved 26% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Neil Warnock will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 9 away games out of 19 this season, Warnock will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Watford.

Huddersfield has lost the last 2 times they've faced Watford in the league.
Watford manager Chris Wilder has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match.
