Match Facts
Sunderland have lost just one of their last eight home league games against Watford (W5 D2), a 1-0 defeat in December 2015.
Watford have won just two of their last 12 league matches against Sunderland (D5 L5), most recently a 1-0 home win in the Premier League in April 2017.
Having scored in 17 consecutive league games at the Stadium of Light from December 2022 to September 2023, Sunderland lost their last such match 0-1 to Cardiff; not since October 2022 have they drawn a blank in back-to-back home league matches.
Watford remain winless in 12 away league games, their longest such run since May 2018 in the Premier League (also 12). They last had a longer away winless run in the league in April 2010 (16).
Tony Mowbray is winless in his last five league meetings with Watford (D2 L3) across spells at Middlesbrough (L1), Blackburn (L2), and now Sunderland (D2). His last league win over the Hornets was with Boro in October 2012 (2-1).
