Watford face Leeds United at Elland Road on Tuesday night

Watford head to in-form Leeds United on Tuesday night looking to respond to their 3-0 hammering at the hands of rivals Luton Town last weekend.

Leeds United welcome Watford to Elland Road in another six-pointer in the battle for Premier League promotion.

Leeds United will be looking to extend their strong start to the Championship season when they welcome Watford to Elland Road on Tuesday night. Leeds, currently third in the table with 19 points from their opening ten games, secured a confidence-boosting 2-0 win against Sheffield United in their last outing. In contrast, Watford will aim to bounce back after a heavy 3-0 loss to Luton Town left them sitting in eighth place with 16 points.

 

Leeds have shown why they are among the favourites for promotion, having conceded the third-fewest goals in the division (0.7 per game on average) while maintaining a strong offensive record with 1.7 goals per match.

Under the leadership of Daniel Farke, Leeds have been solid, picking up five wins from their last eight league matches, with their only defeat coming in a narrow 1-0 loss to second-placed Burnley. Moreover, the Peacocks will take confidence from their recent home form, winning their last two games at Elland Road.

 

Farke praised his team’s resilience after their win against Sheffield United, highlighting how his players limited the Blades to just one shot inside the box and no clear-cut chances. The manager will be keen for his side to carry their momentum into Tuesday’s clash as they look to secure their place in the top two of the table. Despite some early inconsistencies at home, Leeds appear to be finding their rhythm.

On the other side, Watford will be desperate to put their weekend defeat behind them. Their 3-0 loss to Luton Town exposed weaknesses in their away performances, having now lost their last four games on the road, conceding 11 goals and scoring just once.

 

Watford’s manager, Tom Cleverley, admitted that his side struggled to handle the pressure and failed to impose their identity in the game. Despite their overall struggles away from home, Cleverley will be looking for a reaction from his players as they aim to regain form.

 

In terms of goal threat, Leeds will be wary of Watford’s attack, which has managed 14 goals so far this season, but the Hornets’ leaky defence — conceding 17 times already — will be a concern for Cleverley. Watford’s patchy form on the road will also be a significant hurdle to overcome if they are to take any points from a Leeds side in strong form.
