Goal Statistics

Coventry City's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because Watford have conceded in each of their last 14 Championship matches. A PG of 1.9 for Frank Lampard's side suggests that run should continue.

With a PG of just 0.7, Watford look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Coventry City have kept a clean sheet in 4 consecutive Championship matches, and it could be a long lunch time for Javier Gracia Carlos's men.
