Match Preview
Watford failed to contain Tommy Conway and Morgan Whittaker in gameweek 45 as their braces set up a 5-1 win for Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. Edward Still is coming under increasing pressure heading into the summer break with his Hornets side facing a fifth successive league defeat on Saturday.
Coventry scored twice after the 80th minute last weekend as late goals helped the Sky Blues beat sixth-placed Wrexham 3-1 on home soil. The champions are unbeaten in seven ahead of the trip to Vicarage Road and have won back-to-back Championship matches.
