The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Watford and Swansea City go head-to-head at Vicarage Road on Wednesday.
The Hornets have failed to taste victory at home in the league since the start of December and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell.
Watford’s quest for a playoff spot suffered another huge blow last Saturday, when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Millwall at the Den.
The Hornets have now lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat at Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round on February 6.
While Watford will be looking to find their feet on Wednesday, they have struggled to get going on home turf, where they are on a three-game losing streak and have failed to win their last seven matches since November’s 3-2 victory over Norwich City.
Elsewhere, Swansea City pulled clear of the danger zone last time out courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers at the Swansea.com Stadium.
This came after a 2-1 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on February 24, which saw their two-game losing run come to an end.
With 42 points from 35 matches, Swansea are currently 15th in the Championship table, two points and three places behind Wednesday’s hosts Watford.
