Watford prepare to entertain Burnley at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, having won 6 and lost only 2 of the 10 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in September 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
