Watford and Wolves supporters will unite to honour the late Kenny Jackett before Saturday's Championship match at Molineux. The former Watford stalwart and promotion-winning Wolves manager will be remembered ahead of the game, with members of his family and close friends in attendance.

Jackett, who died in June at the age of 64, made 428 appearances for Watford as a player, coming through the club's academy and spending his entire playing career with the Hornets. He later managed the club alongside Luther Blissett from 1996 until 2001. His most celebrated achievement came at Wolves, where he took over in 2013 and led the club to a record-breaking League One title with 103 points, a season supporters still cherish. He also earned 31 caps for Wales during a playing career cut short by knee surgeries at 28.

The tribute ahead of Saturday's match

Saturday's fixture at Molineux will serve as a focal point for the tribute, with Jackett featuring on the cover of the matchday programme. Watford travel to face Wolves on October 24, a game that takes on added significance given Jackett's deep connections to both sides. The club currently sits 20th in the Championship standings with 11 points from 11 games, having won just one of their last five matches. That win over Charlton on Saturday 17 October was a rare bright spot in a difficult run that includes a 5-1 defeat at Cardiff and a 4-0 home loss to Burnley.

Watford's current form ahead of the game

Watford's precarious league position, with three wins and two draws from their 11 games, adds a poignant backdrop to the occasion. The team has conceded 19 goals while scoring only 10 this season, leaving them 12 points adrift of leaders Swansea. Their recent form of one win and four defeats from the last five matches shows the challenge they face. Jackett's legacy at Vicarage Road is secure, having also returned to a first-team coaching role under Graham Taylor after his managerial spell. The tribute at Molineux offers a moment of unity and reflection before the competitive action resumes. Watford's players will look to channel that spirit for a positive result against Wolves this Saturday.
