Watford will be eager to end their recent poor run of form when they welcome West Bromwich Albion to Vicarage Road for an interesting EFL Championship contest. The Monday night clash will be extremely difficult to call for obvious reasons. There was a period when both sides were in the Premier League competing against each other but this season they are tasked with returning to English top flight. These two teams are very much in the play-off race, however, their recent form is a bit of a worry.
Both sides are not having the best of times in recent weeks. In fact they both are entering this contest on the back of conceding late equalisers in their last game. Watford were seconds away from upsetting leaders Burnley in their own backyard but a late goal forced them to settle for a point. Similarly, West Brom also conceded late against Blackburn Rovers in a 1-1 draw. Both teams could have used a victory to get their struggling season back on track.
There is very little to separate the two sides in the EFL Championship standings. Watford are placed eight with 47 points from 32 games, while West Bromwich Albion are sitting two places and points below them at 10th spot with 45 points. However, the visitors have played a game less. Watford are winless in their last five Championship games, while West Brom have won only one of their last four games in the league.
