Match Facts
Watford have lost their last three league games against Leeds, failing to score in each defeat and losing 3-0 in each of the last two (April 2022 and September 2023).
Leeds have won five of 11 away league games against Watford (D3 L3) and every victory has been under a different manager (O’Leary, Blackwell, Grayson, McDermott, Marsch) while facing a different Hornets boss each time too (Taylor, Boothroyd, Mackay, Zola, Hodgson).
Watford lost 3-2 at home to Huddersfield Town on Good Friday last year, last suffering consecutive league defeats on that day in 1988 (vs QPR) and 1989 (vs Crystal Palace).
This is Leeds United’s first league game on Good Friday since 2019, when they lost 2-1 to Wigan at Elland Road despite the Latics going down to 10 men early in the game and the Whites attempting 36 shots.
Georginio Rutter has 15 assists in open play in the Championship this season for Leeds United, the most of any player. Since Opta has this data recorded (2013-14), the only player with more in a season is Emiliano Buendía for Daniel Farke’s Norwich City in 2020-21 (16).
