Follow live coverage as Watford face Sheffield United in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Watford approach this game on the back of a 3-1 defeat to QPR, which followed another disappointing result. Their defence has been a key area of concern, conceding in each of their last six matches. This vulnerability has seen them slip from the playoff positions to 8th place in the Championship.

Watford and Sheffield United will seek to get back on track when they meet on Saturday (15:00 GMT). The Hornets have lost back-to-back games to fall out of the play-off places while the Blades have picked up just one point from three games since Christmas to fall off the pace in the promotion race.
