Watford play host to Reading at the Vicarage Road, with both teams having to contend with weekend defeats. The Hornets put a sudden end to their winning streak, losing to Coventry. It interrupted three victories on the spin, which had lifted Watford as high as seventh place. The hosts have been shaky in front of their own fans, something they will be seeking to amend. They have won just three of their last eight home encounters, but have only prevailed in two of their last five against Reading at the Vicarage Road. 

Reading’s Friday defeat to Preston confirmed their current poor form. The Royals have won just one game in eight, keeping just two clean sheets in their last nine. Their recent away record will also do nothing to restore their confidence. Reading have won just two of their last nine on the road, possessing the third-worst away record in the entire Championship division. On the upside, they have made things difficult for Watford in their recent visits there, winning two of their last four at the Vicarage Road and scoring in four of their last five.
