After losing to Bournemouth last weekend, Watford are back in Championship action against bottom club Wycombe Wanderers at Vicarage Road on Wednesday.

The loss meant Watford lost ground on Brentford in their push for automatic promotion from the Championship.

The Hornets are now three points behind Brentford. They are only a point ahead of Swansea City, who have two games in hand.

That loss against Bournemouth was compounded by a mass brawl at the end of the game. That moment of madness saw the Cherries' Jack Wilshere and Watford's Joao Pedro receive red cards.

Watford played well before that loss to Bournemouth though. They had won five games on the bounce, and were flying under the stewardship of Xisco Munoz.

Even with that loss to Bournemouth, the Hornets will be aware that they cannot let one result affect their form for the run-in. They may even try to snatch the second automatic promotion spot behind league leaders Norwich City.

Meanwhile, Wycombe are bottom of the league and 11 points off safety at the moment, with 14 games left to play in their season. Things are not looking great for them and they may already be preparing to play in League One next season.

In their last match, Wycombe were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Norwich City.
