Prediction

  • Watford couldn't produce a response to Myles Peart-Harris' 35th-minute strike in midweek, falling to a narrow away defeat against a Swansea side known for their defensive strength.
  • Home form has been Tom Cleverley's saving grace this season though, and his side have taken 16 points from a possible 18 at Vicarage Road heading into this clash.
  • Hidde ter Avest scored on his first start for Oxford United on Tuesday night as Des Buckingham's side claimed a priceless three points against a struggling Hull outfit.
  • Friday's visitors were winless in eight league outings prior to that game but are now heading back in the right direction.
