    Championship | Game week 32
    Feb 11, 2025 at 7.45pm UK
    Vicarage Road

    Championship leaders Leeds United will be bidding to make it three league victories in a row when they continue their campaign with a contest against Watford on Tuesday night.

    Watford have not won in the Championship since January 18, and they headed into Saturday's clash with Sunderland off the back of three straight defeats to Preston North End, Coventry City and Norwich City.

    Leeds were knocked out of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Millwall, but they are unbeaten in the Championship since the end of November.

    I think the last three halves have been some of our best football of the season. Hope that continues.

    From the Yorkshire Evening Post -

    "Ivorian forward Bayo has registered the second most Expected Goals (xG) in the entire division with 11.09 xG to his name from just 50 shots. He has scored with one in every five shots which is among the league's best conversion rate, too, therefore his enforced omission from Tom Cleverley's starting lineup this evening is something of a blessing to Leeds."

    If only they knew...

    That is the stat and I am sure whatever we think of his skill it is the sort of thing that does indicate a players value on the pitch........ Mind you Rayo was probably pretty good statistically too

    You have to wonder if the term 'shots' includes headers though...

    Personally, for me it just shows how distorted stats can be at times.
