Watford play host to Coventry City at the Vicarage Road Stadium in round 20 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.
The Hornets head into the weekend on a run of three consecutive victories and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Watford maintained their fine run of results as they fought back from behind to claim a 2-1 win at Cardiff City on Wednesday.
They have now won their last three matches, stretching back to a 3-0 humbling at the hands of Millwall on October 19.
With 29 points from 18 games, Watford are currently sixth in the EFL Championship table, level on points with fifth-placed Norwich City.
Meanwhile, Coventry City returned to winning ways last time out when they saw off 10-man Blackburn Rovers 1-0 on home turf.
Prior to that, they saw their three-match winning streak come to an end on October 25 when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rotherham United before falling to a 2-1 loss against Blackpool four days later.
Coventry City are currently 20th in the league table with 20 points from 16 games, but could potentially rise as high as 14th place with all three points this weekend.
