Watford prepare to entertain Southampton at Vicarage Road Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, winning 12 and drawing 6 of the 19 games played.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was just last season, in September 2007, as the Hornets squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Championship match.
