West Brom looking to avoid breaking unwanted 26 year long stat against Watford

The most draws in the division and just a few shy of breaking an EFL record is one - along with netting just 49 times all season.

Currently Albion are five games without a win and have lost all three of their last three games since the March international break.

It has been a difficult period for Tony Mowbray's side - and they will be looking to bounce back against one of their play-off rivals Watford on Saturday.

In the process they will be looking to avoid breaking a statistic that goes all the way back to 1999.

If they failed to beat the Hornets at The Hawthorns on Saturday, it will be the first time in 26 years that Albion have lost four games in a row outside of the Premier League.

Back in the 1998/1999 season, Albion were lost five consecutive games under the stewardship of Dennis Smith. The run involved a 4-0 hammering away at Birmingham City and a 5-1 defeat at home to Crewe.

However, in trying to beat Watford Albion are up against it in terms of their recent records.

Albion have won just one of their last 12 meetings with the Hornets and are winless in their last eight games against them.

However, Watford do not travel well to Albion and have only won one in 12 at Albion.
