Watford face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 8 out of 12 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
