Watford, Recent FormWatford will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Hull City with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Hull City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Tom Cleverley will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Hornets, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Sunderland, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Sunderland players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Millwall. They came away from that fixture with a 68% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Millwall, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
On an individual basis, Jobe Bellingham will be looking to cause Watford some problems having scored 2 goals in Sunderland's last 6 away games in the league.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-0 win for Sunderland.
Watford have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against The Black Cats.
In the league, Watford has had a good run at home against Sunderland, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Vicarage Road Stadium.
Watford manager Tom Cleverley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kwadwo Baah (Hamstring), Jeremy Ngakia (Knee) and Ken Sema (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Mike Dodds with Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament), Nazariy Rusyn (Calf) and Jenson Seelt (Knee surgery) all unavailable for selection, and Niall Huggins (Knee surgery) out for the rest of the season.
