Watford, Recent FormWatford will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Birmingham City. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Birmingham City who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.
It's been a mixed run of form for Watford recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormWest Bromwich Albion will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Bristol City, which ran out a 0-0 draw. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 0 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 14 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Carlos Corberán will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
On an individual basis, John Swift will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in West Bromwich Albion's last 6 league games.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-2 win for Watford.
The Baggies defence has struggled against Watford in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games.
Playing at home, Watford have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 5 times they have faced West Brom in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Watford manager Valérien Ismaël ahead of this clash, with Jamal Lewis (Thigh) missing out, which gives Ismaël a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Daryl Dike (Achilles tendon) and Adam Reach (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carlos Corberán will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
