Leeds United must avenge dismal Vicarage Road record with trip to Watford

Leeds United will be looking to strengthen their chances of staying in the Premier League when they travel to 18th-place Watford in what is a pivotal encounter towards the bottom of the division. The Whites currently sit eight points above the Hornets in the table - but a win for the home side could bring Leeds right back into danger.

Jesse Marsch's team extended their unbeaten run to three matches with a well-earned 1-1 draw against Southampton on Saturday. Jack Harrison gave the Whites the lead, poking home from close-range, before James Ward-Prowse equalised after curling home a delightful free-kick.

Meanwhile, Watford kicked-off the weekend when they travelled up to title-chasing Liverpool, and although they came away with nothing, it was a performance to be pleased about. Roy Hodgson's side limited The Reds to few clear-cut chances and were undone by two defensive errors as Diogo Jota and Fabinho sealed the win at Anfield.
