History of the Fulham v Watford fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Watford at Craven Cottage on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, winning 54.55% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was two seasons ago, in January 2005, with Fulham running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a F.A. Cup match.
