In-form Coventry City welcome Watford to the CBS Arena on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Despite their contrasting fortunes over the season so far, a win for Frank Lampard's side could haul them into the top 10 and within three points of Tom Cleverley's Hornets.

Coventry have lost one of their past 11 league games against Watford, a 3-2 defeat in November 2020.
Each of Watford's past four away league games against Coventry have ended in draws, as many as across their prior 32 matches combined.
Coventry have kept a clean sheet in each of their past three home league games (W2 D1) and will be looking to keep four in succession for the first time since January 2021.
After beating Derby County 2-0 in their last league game on the road, Watford will be looking to win successive away matches in the Championship for the first time since December 2023.
Brandon Thomas-Asante has scored in his past two league games, having scored once in his first 25 league appearances for Coventry. He last scored in three consecutive Football League appearances in January 2022 for Salford City.
