Watford could beat their highest ever goal haul of 92 in a season come May following a prolific Sky Bet Championship campaign so far.
The Hornets scored their 70th league goal this term in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Fulham at Vicarage Road, which makes them the highest scorers in The Football League so far this term.The goal also saw them equal their record number of goals after 35 games of a season.
Should they continue their average ratio of two goals per game for the remainder of the campaign, they would equal their current record of 92, which was set in 1959/60.
However, if Watford increase their return they could break the club record - next up for the Hornets is a trip to fellow high-flyers Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Odion Ighalo is the top scorer in a yellow shirt, and he has 17 goals so far, with 14 coming in his last 10 appearances. That form saw him nominated for February's Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award.
Bournemouth are the second most prolific side in England, and they are one goal behind Watford with 69 for the season. The Cherries’ biggest scoreline came back in October, when they beat Birmingham City 8-0 at St Andrew’s.
In comparison to The Football League's other divisions; promotion-chasing Milton Keynes Dons are Sky Bet League 1's top scorers with 68, while Northampton Town are the only team to pass the 50-goal mark in Sky Bet League 2, hitting 54 so far.
Below is a table of every Football League side in history and their respective record goal tallies for a single season. Peterborough United hold the feat of most goals ever scored in a season, after they registered 134 in the 1960/61 campaign.
