Pick of the stats: Sheffield Wednesday v Watford
- Published
Sheffield Wednesday stand on the brink of more unwanted EFL history as they prepare to welcome Watford to Hillsborough on Tuesday night (19:45 GMT).
The Owls are already down and, after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Derby, have lost 13 straight Championship games and their past six at home in all competitions.
One of the 11 points they have won from 36 games this season did come at Vicarage Road in December, however.
The Hornets lie ninth, six points behind the play-off places, with a game in hand on some of the sides they are chasing, following a 2-1 win at Bristol City in their last action on 27 February.
Sheffield Wednesday are winless in their past 10 league games against Watford (D5 L5) since a 1-0 win at Vicarage Road in December 2013.
Watford are unbeaten in their past six away league games against Sheffield Wednesday (W4 D2), winning this exact fixture 6-2 last season.
Sheffield Wednesday are winless in their past 19 home league games (D5 L14), and failure to win here would equal the longest run in English league history (Sunderland, 20 between January-December 2017).
Watford have lost just two of their past 11 away league games (W4 D5), having lost nine of their 11 on the road before this (D2).
Sheffield Wednesday are winless in all 18 of their home league games this season, and could become the first team in English league history to fail to win 19 in a row on home soil in a single campaign.
