Burnley are unbeaten in their three Premier League matches under Mike Jackson (W2 D1). The last manager to remain unbeaten in their first four league matches in charge of the Clarets was Owen Coyle in 2007, while no manager has ever stayed unbeaten in their first four top-flight matches with Burnley.

Watford have lost each of their last 10 Premier League home matches. No side in top-flight history have ever lost 11 consecutive home league contests before.

Burnley have won their last two Premier League matches, last winning three in a row in April 2019. This is their first league match when starting the day outside the relegation zone since August.

Burnley have won five of their nine Premier League matches against Watford (56 per cent). Of sides they’ve faced at least five times in the competition, only against AFC Bournemouth (75 per cent) and Hull City (67 per cent) do they have a better win-rate.
