WATFORD
18th in Premiership
with 3 point
Position achievable
after MatchDay 7:
Highest 14th - Lowest 20th

WATFORD will run out for the Monday match, attempting for a seventh time to pick up a first win since their return to the Premiership and a 100th victory in top flight football.
The match with Fulham pits the youngest manager in the Premiership (Adrian Boothroyd, 35) with the third youngest (Chris Coleman, 36).
This is the first match-up between these clubs in the Premiership.
Drawn their last two League games (0-0, home to Aston Villa and 1-1, away to Wigan).
One of only two clubs without a Premiership victory. The other is fellow promoted outfit Sheffield United.

FULHAM
11th in Premiership
with 8 point
Position achievable
after MatchDay 7:
Highest 7th - Lowest 16th

FULHAM have had an even start to this League campaign - two wins, two draws and two defeats. They've seemingly started matches weakly and finished strongly, conceding four goals in the first 22 minutes and scoring twice in the last five minutes.
Their last match on the road was a goalless draw at Tottenham. Should this fixture finish level, it would be the 50th draw Fulham had registered in their Premier League history.
The Cottagers have won half of their 16 previous League meetings with the Hornets, including 'doubling' their opponents at second League level in 2000-01. In addition the Thames-side club won a third round FA Cup tie after a replay in the season before last.
