Head-to-head
• Brighton gained their first win in five league meetings with Watford when Craig Mackail-Smith converted a 50th minute penalty to secure all three points in the reverse fixture on 18 September.
• The Seagulls' last league double over the Hornets was in the old second Division in 1990-91, when they recorded a 4-0 aggregate from the two games.
• Watford have recorded two wins in 10 league matches on Brighton soil.
Brighton
• Brighton, four places and three points outside the play-offs, have drawn their last three league games and are looking for a first win in five.
• The Seagulls have not played since 18 December, and have become the Championship's draw specialists, with 10 of their 23 fixtures finishing level.
• They have failed to score in more home games than any other club in the division (four).
Watford
• Sixth-placed Watford, whose Boxing Day fixture with Bristol City was postponed, have lost only one of their last 10 games, winning six.
• Gianfranco Zola's men are the top scorers away from home in this division, with 24 goals from 11 games.
• The Hornets have also scored an unequalled five Championship goals in stoppage-time.

Once again we meet up with Mr Sheldrake, this time he's staying out of the limelight (hopefully).
Maybe Gus can have a nice chat with him on the touchline about THAT penalty, and the assaults on Casper and Tommy Elphick.
Luckily, John Farries is not involved today.

BHA last ten games: 3 wins, 6 draws, 1 loss

Watford last ten games: 6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss

Early goal and BHA to go on to notch 3-0

I think Lewes railway station would more likely to be rained off than the Amex.
