Watford and Blackburn Rovers face off in the Championship on Sunday afternoon, with both sides looking for their second wins of the season.

Valérien Ismaël’s side kicked off the campaign with a 4-0 win against QPR – however, they’ve lost two and drawn one of their games since then.

Watford finished 11th last season and they’ll be desperate to find form as they look to finish in the top six this campaign.

Blackburn, who finished outside of the play-offs last season on goal difference, have the same record as Watford heading into Sunday’s clash.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men won their opening game against West Brom before drawing at Rotherham. Their only loss so far this season came last weekend at home against Hull, though Blackburn were playing with 10 men for around 75 minutes after Harry Pickering’s red card.
