History of the Watford v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Watford prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Hornets are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 17 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vicarage Road Stadium was just last season, in October 2007, the Hornets carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
