Watford will welcome Swansea City to Vicarage Road for a matchday 13 fixture in the EFL Championship on Wednesday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a rampaging 4-0 away victory over Stoke City last weekend. Ismaila Sarr, Ken Sema, Keinan Davis and Vakoun Bayo all got on the scoresheet for the Hornets.

The Welsh outfit took the lead through Matthew Sorinola's early strike but the home side fought back to take a 2-1 lead in the 65th minute. Michael Obafemi stepped off the bench to help Swansea leave the Hawthorns with a 3-2 victory.
The win helped them climb to the 11th spot in the table, having garnered 15 points from 11 matches. Watford have 17 points to their name and are just one point outside the playoff spots.
