Watford v Hull preview

At one stage this season Watford threatened to run away with The Championship title, but they ultimately only scraped into the play-offs to face Hull.

Hull have only won in one of their last six meetings with Watford – but this came in their 3-0 victory in their last fixture against the Hornets.

The away side has only scored one goal in the last four meetings between the two sides and are likely to be without the creative juices of Jay-Jay Okocha whose knee injury could keep him out until Wednesday's second leg.

However, Phil Brown will have Okocha's former Bolton team-mate Henrik Pedersen available after a calf problem, while Richard Garcia is also ready to return.

Watford have not managed to win in any of their last five fixtures and Adrian Boothroyd will be concerned that he may have a lack of firepower on Sunday.

Darius Henderson will be serving a one-match ban, while Steve Kabba is doubtful, meaning Tamas Priskin is likely to start.

Watford have only scored five goals in their last ten matches in the league and only managed to collect eight points from their last ten matches – only bottom of the league Colchester managed fewer (six).

Prediction: 1-1

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“United deserved the title. why can't everyone see that? Why are there all the recriminations from TV and people on here? It was a clear penalty and the rio incident one wasn't. Yes, scholes could've been sent off but how many times do you see the ref show leniency in such situations? Chelsea couldn't even win anyway so any argument is completely moot.”
