Leeds United, Recent FormIt's fair to say Leeds United will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Hull City, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 0 of their 9 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets, and playing at home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Whites, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Watford, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Watford and West Bromwich Albion in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to West Bromwich Albion, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
After a good 0-3 win for Leeds United in this pair's last league encounter, Watford will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Leeds have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Hornets in each of their previous 2 meetings. The last 4 matches between The Hornets and Leeds show that The Hornets have let in at least one goal on each occasion. The Whites have struggled to keep Watford at bay when these two teams have met at Elland Road, during the last 3 times they have hosted Watford in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Leeds has won the last 2 games they've played against Watford in the league.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Patrick Bamford (Unknown), Stuart Dallas (Broken hip), Júnior Firpo (Unknown) and Djed Spence (Medial Collateral Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Watford manager Valérien Ismaël ahead of this clash, with Ken Sema (Muscle) missing out, which gives Ismaël a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
