Following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers last Sunday (August 27), the Hornets will be hoping to secure a return to winning ways when they travel to Coventry City next.

Ahead of the fixture against the Sky Blues this Saturday (September 2, 3pm KO), take a look at all the stats, facts and figures surrounding the eagerly-awaited encounter.

Watford have one win in their last eight league matches against Coventry (D5 L2) - a 3-2 home triumph in November 2020.

The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last four home league games against Watford (W1 D3), although the previous three have all ended in draws.

The Hornets haven’t drawn four successive away league games against a side since doing so against Blackpool in May 2008 - the only previous occasion they have done so in the 21st century.

Coventry have lost just one of their last 11 league games (W4 D6), with that defeat coming in their opening match of this season – a 2-1 loss away to Leicester City.

Watford are winless in their last 10 away league games (D4 L6). It’s the Hornets’ longest such run outside the top-flight since March 2014 (run of 12).

The Golden Boys have lost each of their last two league games, most recently enduring a longer string of league defeats in a run of six between April and May 2022.

Forward Matt Godden is top for goals for City this season with two to his name, having also taken the most shots on target with eight. Meanwhile, Haji Wright has had the most shots off target (5).

Centre-half Joel Latibeaudiere, who joined the club in the summer, has attempted the most passes in the Coventry ranks (311) and the most passes in his own half (195). Ben Sheaf is top for passes in the opposition’s half (130), dribbles (12) and tackles attempted (17).

Defensively, Kyle McFadzean leads the way for clearances (20), blocks (6) and interceptions (6) in the Coventry squad.
