For me, watford are one of the dark horses for promotion this year. They have the strike power up front, with Graham and Sordell tearing apart defences with ease and their midfield four are� capable of picking out the incisive through ball between the gaps. The last few times I ahve watched them play, they have been a menacing threat up front which explains why they have scored tons of goals in their last half dozen matches. The Hornets have now won sin on the bounce, where five came in the league before their 4-1 win over Hartlepool last weekend. More interestingly, out of their five straight victories, they have netted 3 goals or more in all but one of them.

Derby on the other hand look a distant side of themselves, when they did compete in the top flight a few years back. They now languish in mid table and with attendances dropping, their club seem to be going in the wrong direction. Whatsmore, Derby have lost seven times on their travel already this season and that certainly is an ominous sign for today's encounter.
