History of the Watford v Coventry City fixture

Watford prepare to entertain Coventry City at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 9 of the 37 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in September 2009, with Coventry City inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Hornets in a Championship match.
