Watford face a trip to Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 4 of the 26 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2005, with Watford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Tractor Boys in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Ipswich Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Tractor Boys have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Watford's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Hornets, and 7 goals against.
Ipswich Town's 18 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Watford lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola Championship, picking up 20 from their 14 games so far.
