    View attachment 30628 WATFORD v LEEDS UTD leeds-united.png

    Venue: Vicarage Road Date: Tuesday 8 April Kick-off: 19:45 BST



    After the troubles of their takeover for the past weeks, the Leeds fans will be glad to concentrate on a football game once more. Since the start of the year their on pitch results have been awful and it is possible that only the goings on off the pitch have kept their manager in his job.


    Injuries:

    Watford will be missing Cristian Battocchio, Lloyd Doyley, Fernando Forestieri and Fitz Hall.

    Leeds do not have Sam Byram, Rudy Austin and Jimmy Kebe.

    Form Guide:

    Watford have won only one of their last four games, drawing two and losing one.
    They have, however, won six of their last eight home games in all competitions, drawing the last two.
    Their last defeat at Vicarage Road was 1-0 against Reading in the Championship on 11 January.

    Leeds Leeds have won only one of their last 11 games, drawing two and losing eight.
    They have kept only one clean sheet in their last 20 games in all competitions.
    Leeds have not won any of their last six away games, drawing two and losing four.

    Leeds United do not have good results recently so they will beat Watford, as the hosts never play well at home against poor teams.

    I was worried as soon as I saw McDermott's press conference yesterday, where he admitted tonight may be his last game as Leeds manger.

    Good one to win, but we´ll see. Need to win to keep the slim dream alive.

    Thanks for the thread OFH.

    Any video links for later will be warmly received.

    2,033 advance ticket sales for Leeds. Should be quite an atmosphere in the ground tonight.

    Alas I am going to be on a work training course so will miss this game.

    Which of course means it will be a classic. With goals, controversy and a handsome Watford win (3-0).

    As Cellino's appeal has been successful, it is more likely than before.

    I must remember this game starts 2 hours earlier than usual! Which means I will miss the end as I'll be driving to work.

    Other than Battocchio being injured, no. I'm a bit surprised that Ranegie, McGugan & Pudil are benched...

    Have we reached the stage now when they want to see who will be retained next season?

    A good blend of youth and experience is the view of Mr. Payne. "Tozser and Abdi together in mid-field is something that many people have wanted to see."

    Hope you are safe Yorkie. ;)
