Watford boss Paulo Pezzolano will be looking to ease some pressure as the side welcome Hull City on Saturday (15:00 BST). The Hornets have lost their past two games to see them just hovering above the relegation zone and put Pezzolano under the microscope at a club known to have little patience when it comes to under-performing managers. Perhaps it's a good time to face a side that hasn't been able to do much damage in recent years, but the Tigers are coming off a huge 3-1 win over Southampton and it could be just the confidence boost they need to break Watford's unbeaten run. Watford are unbeaten in their last four league games against Hull (W2 D2), winning this exact fixture 1-0 back in April last season. Hull have failed to either win (D2 L2) or score in any of their last four away league games against Watford since a 2-1 win in December 2012. Watford have won just one of their last 11 league games (D3 L7), beating QPR 2-1 in their first home game of the season. Having beaten Southampton 3-1 last time out, Hull are looking to secure consecutive league victories for the first time since a run of three ending in October 2024. No Championship player has been involved in more goals than Hull's Oliver McBurnie this season (6), with his three goals and three assists all coming in his last five appearances.
