Watford pack their bags to visit Cardiff City at Ninian Park on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 4 of the 21 games.
The previous match played between the two at Ninian Park was within the last three years, in August 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Championship match.
