Norwich won 2-1 at Watford in the EFL Cup in August
The Canaries have won the last four meetings in all competitions
Recommended bet: Norwich to win
Philippe Clement got his first victory as Norwich head coach with Saturday's 3-1 win over QPR and he and his team will be aiming to back it up at Watford.
The Belgian saw his side walloped 4-1 at Birmingham in his first game but the Canaries responded with a 1-1 draw at home to Oxford before outdoing the R's.
Hosts Watford lost 2-1 at St Andrew's on Monday to end their run of five unbeaten but they have a dreadful record against Norwich.
The Norfolk outfit won 2-1 at Vicarage Road in August's EFL Cup tie, extending their winning run over the Hornets to four games and that could become five on Saturday.

Team news
Watford forward Kwadwo Baah is yet to return from his hamstring injury and is expected to miss out again.
Rocco Vata is also absent with a similar issue and is not expected to play again this year, while Caleb Wiley is sidelined with a muscle problem.
For Norwich, Mirko Topic is likely to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL injury in the recent draw with Oxford.
Ante Crnac is another long-term absentee but fellow forward Mathias Kvistgaarden looks to have shaken off his early-season fitness problems and has featured in the last seven games.
However, Clement has suggested he will have to wait for starts due to Josh Sargent's presence.
The stats
Watford are unbeaten in their last six at Vicarage Road, but one of their two home defeats in all competitions this season came against Norwich in the EFL Cup.
Both the Hornets' and Canaries' last five games have seen both sides score, as has been the case in four of the last five meetings.
The Canaries' two wins at Vicarage Road in 2025 have been by a single goal — August's 2-1 victory was preceded by a 1-0 win in January.

Prediction
Norwich's form this season means they would usually be hard to back, but since his chastening debut at Birmingham, Clement has clearly been working hard, and four points from their last two games has revived their survival hopes.
A win at Vicarage Road would not be enough to lift the Canaries out of the Championship's bottom three but would build confidence and maintain momentum.
Importantly, the Belgian's players know they can get the better of Watford, who are 15th in the standings and intriguingly positioned five points below the top six, but only seven above the bottom three.
Javi Gracia will have bigger ambitions but after finishing 14th last season, their current 15th place feels like their natural position in the second-tier standings.
Norwich's need is possibly greater and with recent history on their side, another victory in Hertfordshire could be theirs.
