Watford v Hull City - Sky Bet Championship
Huddersfield and Watford will face off in the Championship on Saturday.

Huddersfield Town and Watford will go head-to-head at the John Smith's Stadium in round 23 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (December 17).

The hosts are without a win in three games across competitions and will look to end this dry spell.

Huddersfield failed to find their feet last weekend, as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Sheffield United. They have now picked up just four points from their last five league outings.

With 19 points from 21 games, Huddersfield are rooted to the bottom of the Championship, albeit with a game in hand.

Meanwhile, Watford returned from the 2022 FIFA World Cup break last Sunday with a goalless draw against Hull City. They're unbeaten in all but one of their last seven games, picking up four wins and two draws since October.

With 34 points from 22 games, Huddersfield are fifth in the standings, level on points with sixth-placed Preston North End.
