Watford face a trip to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2009, with Crystal Palace running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Crystal Palace's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Eagles have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Watford's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Hornets, and 10 goals against.
Crystal Palace find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 15 games have yielded only 11 points. Watford's 22 points from 15 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
