Match Facts

  • Derby County have lost their last four Championship matches against Watford, losing both at Pride Park in this run without scoring a goal (0-1 in 2020-21, 0-2 in 2024-25).

  • Watford are looking to win three consecutive away league games against Derby for the first time – they’ve also kept a clean sheet in their last two, having conceded in each of their first 20 visits.

  • Despite having the fewest shots in the Championship this season (127), Derby County are on a five-match winning run. The Rams last won six league games in a row between December 2022 and February 2023 in League One, while in the Championship they last did so between October and December 2016 (7).

  • Watford’s Imrân Louza has been involved in 11 goals in his last 14 Championship appearances (6 goals, 5 assists), including scoring or assisting in each of his last five games (4 goals, 1 assist).

  • Derby’s Carlton Morris is the joint leading scorer in the Championship this season with 10 goals, scoring five in November alone. It’s the most Championship goals by a Rams player in one month since Matej Vydra scored five in November 2017, while since 2004-05 only Chris Martin has scored more in a single month – seven in December 2013.
