FootyMAD's Watford match preview

History of the Bristol City v Watford fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Watford at Ashton Gate Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 7 of the 40 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
