Match Facts
Bristol City are looking to complete a league double over Watford for the first time since the 1990-91 season.
Watford have only lost one of their last 13 league visits to Bristol City (W3 D9), a 2-0 defeat in January 2013. The last two meetings between the pair at Ashton Gate have ended goalless.
Bristol City are winless in their last three league games (D1 L2), while failing to score in each of those matches; the Robins last went four league matches without scoring in February 2021.
Watford are unbeaten in their last five away league games (W4 D1), they last had a longer such run in the Championship in April 2015 (9 games), earning promotion to the Premier League at the end of that campaign.
No player has been involved in more Championship goals for Watford this season than Yáser Asprilla (8 – 4 goals, 4 assists), while all 38 of his chances created this season have come from open play, only Finn Azaz (64) and Georginio Rutter (55) have more among players without creating a chance from a set play.
