Preview: Watford vs. Hull City

It's the battle of the promotion hopefuls at Vicarage Road on Saturday as Watford take on Hull City in the Championship.

An unbeaten run of seven games has seen the Hornets move up to sixth place in the table and they made it two wins on the bounce last weekend with their 4-1 victory over Barnsley.

However, three wins from their last six matches have put fifth-placed Hull two points above their opponents going into this weekend.

Almen Abdi and Prince Buaben could feature for the home side following absences through injury, while Sone Aluko remains the only doubt for the visitors.
