Watford team news and predicted XI to face Oxford United
The latest Watford team news as Tom Cleverley’s side gear up to face Oxford United in the Championship.
Watford had their winning run come to an end in midweek and will want a response as Oxford United visit Vicarage Road.
Watford have had a good start to this campaign, sitting just outside the play-offs in 7th place after 14 games.
Before defeat to Swansea City in the week, the Hornets had won their last two games. Tom Cleverley’s side had beat Blackburn Rovers and were very impressive against Sheffield Wednesday, winning 6-2 at Hillsborough.
Watford are unbeaten at home so far this campaign and have the joint-best home record in the division. Considering their opponents Oxford United have picked up just two points on the road this season, Cleverley will be expecting a victory.
A win could see Watford move as high as 4th should results go in their favour, which would be quite the achievement going into the November International break.
