Watford play host to Blackpool at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.
The last time the two teams met at Watford was back in November 1997, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division Two match.
