It must be the only ground in the country that you enter through residents back gardens. This is a fixture that has a historic rivalry, given the closeness of the two teams geographically.

Things remain far from perfect, with the Hornets having lost their last three fixtures on their travels, but Cleverley would have jumped at this points tally had it been handed to him prior to the start of the season.
