This nevertheless is the primary of two important video games over the Easter Weekend and Daniel Farke will search for his workforce to provide knowledgeable show.

Watford’s dwelling kind has been a disappointment for them as solely Rotherham and QPR have achieved fewer factors in dwelling matches. Regardless of this, they’ve been closely defeated simply as soon as at Vicarage Highway; 4-1 to Bristol Metropolis. The overwhelming majority of the opposite losses have been tight.

They’re nonetheless adjusting to life beneath Cleverley, so it might nonetheless be a comparatively disjointed efficiency as they settle into a brand new model and ways.

Leeds will need to begin strongly and look to handle the sport, in addition to sure gamers, with a watch on Monday’s conflict with Hull.
