After a tough loss on Wednesday, this is not the fixture you want to see pop up right after. 2nd place Watford - who have been in and out of first for most of the season. Here's the official preview...

Despite currently occupying second place in the Coca Cola Championship, Adrian Boothroyd's men have failed to register a win in front of their home supporters since October 20th.
That run stretches six matches and includes home defeats to Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City, amongst others.
Yet, while Rangers were left licking their wounds on Wednesday evening, Boothroyd's men played their festive get out of jail card against Cardiff City.
Jobi McAnuff's last-gasp strike rescued a point for the Hornets in a frantic finale, which saw Cardiff lead on two separate occasions.
Yet despite the late point, Boothroyd is still struggling to put his finger on why his charges are continually underachieving at Vicarage Road.
"I don't know what the problem is playing at home," he said, "but sometimes you can want something too much and it becomes harder and harder.
"We didn't play with a lot of brain. You need to play with muscle or guile and we didn't really have either."
Leigertwood is out, as is Mancienne. Stewart returns. No word on whether Bob Malcolm will be in the team, but the club did release this yesterday...

For legal reasons, Queens Park Rangers FC will be making no comment on the matter of Bob Malcolm's arrest and subsequent charge by police in relation to a drink-drive incident which occurred yesterday.
However, Bob has issued the following statement regarding the incident:
"First and foremost, I want to apologise to all the supporters, and in particular the young fans. I recognise that footballers are role models and, as such, should set a positive example. On this occasion, I have failed to do that.
Hmm. Team news to follow...
