Derby County have lost their last four Championship matches against Watford, losing both at Pride Park in this run without scoring a goal (0-1 in 2020-21, 0-2 in 2024-25).
Watford are looking to win three consecutive away league games against Derby for the first time – they’ve also kept a clean sheet in their last two, having conceded in each of their first 20 visits.
Despite having the fewest shots in the Championship this season (127), Derby County are on a five-match winning run. The Rams last won six league games in a row between December 2022 and February 2023 in League One, while in the Championship they last did so between October and December 2016 (7).
Watford’s Imrân Louza has been involved in 11 goals in his last 14 Championship appearances (6 goals, 5 assists), including scoring or assisting in each of his last five games (4 goals, 1 assist).
Derby’s Carlton Morris is the joint leading scorer in the Championship this season with 10 goals, scoring five in November alone. It’s the most Championship goals by a Rams player in one month since Matej Vydra scored five in November 2017, while since 2004-05 only Chris Martin has scored more in a single month – seven in December 2013.
