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 17 and win only 6 of the 30 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2008, with Watford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Tractor Boys in a Championship match.
