The Peacocks lost their last match to West Ham United 2-1 and are in desperate need of some points.

This kept Leeds in 18th spot on the league table with 3 points from 6 matches.
On the other hand, Watford played out a 1-1 draw at home against Newcastle United and hope to get back to winning ways as they eye progress.
Longstaff broke the deadlock for the Magpies but Sarr’s second half ensured parity was restored and both sides earned points.
Watford is in 12th position with 7 points and search for form as they have won only 1 of their last 5 matches across competitions.
