Match Facts
Leeds United complete a league double over Watford when they last faced them in 2021-22 in the Premier League. The Whites have never won three in a row against the Hornets.
Watford have only lost one of their last nine Championship meetings with Leeds (W5 D3), their only defeat in this run coming at home on the final day of the 2012-13 campaign.
This is Leeds United’s sixth consecutive league game against Watford with a different manager – Brian McDermott (2014), Dave Hockaday (2014), Neil Redfearn (2015), Marcelo Bielsa (2021), Jesse Marsch (2022) and Daniel Farke (2023).
After winning their first away league game in 2023 against Norwich, Watford are winless in 11 Championship games on the road (D5 L6).
Leeds are winless in eight home league games, only going more home matches without a win twice before – 10 between February and May 1982 and 12 between March and October 2015.
