Watford, Recent FormWatford enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 away win over Rotherham United last time out in the league. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Rotherham United who had 19 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
A home win for Watford is just a distant memory, having not won at Vicarage Road Stadium in 6 games.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Hull City will not have sat easily with the Huddersfield Town squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hull City, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Jon Worthington will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 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. Their goal scoring streak away now stands at 10 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal in 15 of their 16 games away from home.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Michał Helik will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Huddersfield Town.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Watford have scored in each of their last 9 games at home in the league against The Terriers.
Danny Ward has given Huddersfield's travelling fans plenty to shout about in their past visits to Vicarage Road Stadium, having scored 3 goals in their last 3 meetings there.
With only Vakoun Bayo (Hamstring) and Jeremy Ngakia (Broken ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Valérien Ismaël will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Jon Worthington has a number of injury concerns in his Huddersfield squad to contend with: Kian Harratt (Hamstring), Jaheim Headley (Knee), Rhys Healey (Groin), Michał Helik (Knock), Josh Ruffels (Groin) and Ollie Turton (Cruciate ligament)
