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 19 and lost only 8 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2005, with Coventry City inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Hornets in a Championship match.
