"Embarking on what has become a remarkable Championship romp, the Sky Blues are leading the chase at the top of the table and have continued to shatter a string of records since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. With the mood in their camp at a famous high, the former Everton boss will be calling on his promotion contenders to lay down another marker here."
"In fact, heading into October's international with a stellar 5-0 romp against Sheffield Wednesday, Lampard's camp have won all of their previous five consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 16-1. Gaining a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Saturday's hosts have also notched 31 second-tier strikes so far this season and they hold the best-attacking tally in the division."
"As for the visitors, managing to make an immediate return to winning ways last time out as they clinched a 2-1 victory at home against West Brom, Watford are enjoying life under new boss Javi Garcia. Despite marking their return from October's international break with a 1-0 defeat away at Sheffield United, that is the only loss that the Hornets have suffered from any of their previous five Championship appearances."
Coventry City lead the Championship after a dominant start to the 2025/26 campaign, breaking records and stringing together five consecutive league wins. Coventry recorded a 5-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and a 2-1 win at Portsmouth, scoring 31 goals so far and holding the division's best-attacking tally. Frank Lampard's side have averaged heavy scoring and strong form heading into the weekend. Watford have improved under new boss Javi Garcia with a 2-1 win over West Brom and only one defeat in five matches, but they continue to show issues away from Vicarage Road, including a 1-0 loss to Millwall.
