Watford face Charlton Athletic at Vicarage Road on Saturday looking to end a damaging run of four straight Championship defeats. The Hornets sit 22nd in the table with just eight points from ten games, making this home fixture a critical opportunity to change their fortunes.
Their recent form includes a heavy 5-1 loss at Cardiff City last weekend, where Hector Kyprianou scored a late consolation. Before that came a 4-0 home defeat to Burnley and narrow losses to Bristol City and Stoke City.
Charlton arrive with mixed form
Charlton Athletic, who are 13th, arrive with a more mixed recent record. They have drawn two of their last three matches, including a 2-2 draw with Burnley last time out. Their away form has been inconsistent, with a 3-1 loss at Cardiff preceding that result.
