Watford prepare to entertain Sheffield United at Vicarage Road Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 10 of the 20 previous games, with the Hornets winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was just last season, in January 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Championship match.
