History of the Watford v Chelsea fixture

Watford are ready to welcome Chelsea to Vicarage Road Stadium at tea-time on Saturday,

The previous match played between the two at Vicarage Road Stadium was more than three years back, in January 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Watford are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. The Hornets's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

The away form of Chelsea however, is much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Watford find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 20 points. Chelsea sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 69 points from their 30 games.
