Watford prepare to entertain Cardiff City at Vicarage Road Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 18 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2003, the Hornets carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division One match.
