Pick of the stats: Burnley v Watford
- Published
Burnley are looking to extend their unbeaten run to nine games as they host seventh-placed Watford on Saturday.
The Clarets are third, four points behind leaders Sheffield United, and host a Hornets side who have taken just five points from their past nine away games, in stark contrast to their home record of 26 points from 10 matches.
Burnley have lost just one of their past seven league games against Watford (W3 D3), never conceding more than one goal in any of those matches.
Watford have won just three of their 23 away Football League games against Burnley (D7 L13), though all three wins have seen the Hornets score 3+ goals. In that time, Watford have managed to only keep two clean sheets.
Burnley are unbeaten across their past 10 home league games (W5 D5), drawing each of their last two against Middlesbrough and Derby County. Not since August 2022 have the Clarets drawn three in succession at Turf Moor.
Watford are unbeaten across their last six league games (W3 D3), last enjoying a longer run between March and April 2021 (eight games).
Giorgi Chakvetadze has created more chances from open play than any other player in the Championship this season (40), while the Watford midfielder is second this term for dribbles completed (41).
