Watford have taken only two points from their last four matches
Sheffield United have lost only two of their last six away games
Recommended Bet: Sheffield United to win
Watford's play-off hopes have fizzled out since the turn of the year and Ed Still's side are now 11 points off the top six and in 12th place, in danger of dropping into the bottom half of the standings.
Sheffield United had also been finding wins hard to come by but a 2-1 home win over Hull last week made them just about safe, 10 points above the bottom three with four games left.
Plenty has changed for both clubs since the Blades won their first Championship clash of the season 1-0 in October, but the visitors may fancy their chances of completing a double.

Team news
Jeremy Ngakia, Hector Kyprianou, Marc Bola and Rocco Vata are still out for Watford due to injuries.
Tom Ince, Kwadwo Baah, Othmane Maamma and Mamadou Doumbia are among the options for Still if he decides to shake up his starting line-up.
Sheffield United's absentees include Kalvin Phillips, Tyrese Campbell, Michael Cooper and Sam McCallum, while Danny Ings may be hoping for a start after coming off the bench to score the late winner over Hull.

Prediction
Watford's travelling supporters made their feelings clear after last week's 2-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Oxford and the Hertfordshire side have won only one of their last seven games.
They look vulnerable again against Sheffield United, who continue to battle and would move above their hosts in a congested middle section of the table if they win.
The Blades have found victories hard to come by since the start of March, but they have had a testing run of fixtures and their last four defeats have all come against top-10 teams.
The head-to-head record between the clubs favours the away side, who have won four in a row against Watford, including a 2-1 success on their visit to Vicarage Road last season and the 1-0 win at Bramall Lane in October.
United tend to be an all-or-nothing team, and they have had only six draws in 42 league games with 16 wins and 20 defeats.
Seven of those wins were achieved on the road, though, and they could add another against an out-of-sorts Watford side.
The hosts have failed to beat lowly Leicester and Charlton in their last two home games and if United make early inroads, they can pile the pressure on the Hornets.
