Did you know?

Of Watford’s Premier League points this season, 63 per cent have come away from home (12/19), the highest such share in the league this term. The Hornets have lost just one of their last five road trips in the competition (W1 D3), having lost 12 of 14 beforehand.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have scored a higher share of their Premier League goals from outside the box than any other side in the competition this season (25 per cent, with six out of 24). Meanwhile, Watford are the only side yet to score from outside the box this term.

Watford’s Moussa Sissoko has scored two goals in his last three Premier League matches, as many as in his previous 131 appearances in the competition. The last time the Frenchman scored more than twice in a single Premier League campaign was in 2014/15 with Newcastle United (four).

Since a run in which they conceded in 17 consecutive away Premier League matches between January 2020 and January 2022, Watford have kept three clean sheets in four away trips under manager Roy Hodgson, conceding just once. If they keep a clean sheet in this match, it would be only the ninth instance of a team shipping only one goal in their first five away Premier League matches under a manager.
