After a mixed start to their Championship season, Swansea City will look to make it two wins on the bounce after beating Sheffield United 1-0 last time out.

Watford are in similar form and will hope to get their first away league win this season when they visit the Swans on Saturday (12:30 BST).

  • Swansea City have lost just one of their nine home league games against Watford in the second tier (W6 D2), winning this exact fixture 1-0 last season.
  • Watford have only lost one of their last four league games against Swansea City (W2 D1), and could win successive league games against them for the first time since September 2017.
  • Swansea City have won six of their last eight home league games (D1 L1). Since Alan Sheehan's first league game in charge of the Swans (22nd February), no current Championship side has accrued more points than them (27).
  • Watford have lost each of their previous six away league games, last losing more in succession outside the top-flight in December 1993 (7).
  • Only West Bromwich Albion's Isaac Price (3) has scored more Championship goals so far this season than Watford's Luca Kjerrumgaard (2) after his brace against QPR last time out.
