Cardiff City face a trip to Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 3 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
