Watford travel to take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Sunday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 2 of the 6 previous games, with the hosts winning just 1.
The last time the two teams met at Blackpool was more than a decade ago, in March 1998, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
