As the curtain comes down on the 2022/23 Sky Bet Championship campaign, Watford prepare to face Stoke City (Monday May 8, 3pm KO) in the final match of the season.

Ahead of the contest, we take a look at all the stats, facts and figures surrounding the second-tier encounter.

The last four league meetings between Watford and the Potters at Vicarage Road have been won by a one-goal margin.

Only against Bristol Rovers (7) are Watford on a longer ongoing league winning streak against a side currently in the Football League than Stoke (3), and the Hornets could win four league games in a row against the Potters for the first time since April 1985.

Since a 1-0 win at Vicarage Road in December 2004, Stoke City are without a win in their last eight Championship encounters with Watford, failing to score in six of those games.

Watford have won their final league game of the season just once in the last 10 seasons, with victory last coming in a 2-0 home triumph over Swansea City in 2020/21.

Stoke City haven’t lost their final league game of the season in any of the last 11 seasons, since losing 1-0 to Wigan Athletic in 2010/11.

The Hornets have won just one of their last six league games in which they’ve scored first, letting a two-goal lead slip against Sunderland last time out.

Tyrese Campbell leads the way for goals scored within the Potters’ ranks this season, with nine. The striker has also had the most shots on target (37) and the most shots off target (22) for Stoke.

Lewis Baker, Campbell and Dwight Gayle are all tied for first-place in the assists rankings, with each player notching five. Ben Wilmot has attempted the most passes overall (2,055) and the most passes in his own half (1,105). Morgan Fox has played the most passes in the opposition’s half (972).

In defence, Fox has also attempted the most tackles (84), while former Hornet Wilmot has made the most interceptions (68), clearances (128) and blocks (25).
