THE PREDICTION
Sheffield Wednesday gave their faint hopes of Championship survival a boost with an unlikely victory away at local rivals Barnsley just before the international break, leaving them now six points behind 21st-placed Birmingham heading into this clash with high flying Watford. The Hornets have picked an excellent time to hit top form, winning their last five games to establish themselves in second-place with a six-point lead over nearest rivals Swansea. Most impressive about Watford has been their penchant for goals, having racked up 12 goals over the course of those five games. Such attacking firepower is likely to overwhelm Sheffield Wednesday, who despite no doubt putting up a brave fight in this contest are expected to succumb to defeat against a home side who look unstoppable at present.
