Norwich City pack their bags to visit Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Tuesday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 43 games played, Canaries have recorded 11 wins, and Watford have come away with 15 victories.

The previous match played between the two at Vicarage Road Stadium was within the last three years, in September 2005, the Hornets carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
