Burnley will be keen to extend their recent winning streak when they play host to a struggling Watford in the EFL Championship. The Tuesday night contest will be heavily in favour of the home side due to obvious reasons. Vincent Kompany’s side have won 10 successive Championship matches on the bounce and are destined for a quick return to the Premier League. The same cannot be said about Watford who are going through a four-game winless run in the league at the moment.

A total of 22 points separate these two sides in the Championship table. That is how big a gap it is between both teams thanks to their contrasting forms. A lot of credit has to be given to Vincent Kompany for turning Burnley into a team to watch out for. They are playing good football and are getting results more consistently. In this form, it will be difficult for any team to stop them at this moment. Hence, Watford have to be at the top of their game to get anything out of this match.

However, it is not going to be easy for the visitors who are not enjoying a good run of form in recent games. As things stand, Watford have 46 points from 31 matches to be sitting sixth in the standings. They have drawn three and lost one of their last four league games. On the other hand, Burnley have 68 points from 30 games to top the table. They enjoy a seven-point cushion over second-placed Sheffield United and are 17 points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough in the battle for automatic promotion.
