Failing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Preston North End will have left the Bristol City squad feeling a little deflated.  They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

Liam Manning will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.  

They have had a good run of form at Ashton Gate Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.

Watford have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 away win against Queens Park Rangers in their previous league match.  They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Queens Park Rangers, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  Their goal scoring now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games.  

They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Edo Kayembe will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Bristol City in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Watford.
