Swansea and Watford cross swords at the Swansea.com Stadium with both sides looking to get off from the lower half of the table.
Swansea resumed their Championship season with a shambolic loss against leaders Leicester City as the Foxes thrashed them 3-1. After a shaky start this season, the Swans are currently placed in the 17th spot on the table with just four victories from their opening 12 encounters taking their points tally to 15 points.
Despite their rocky beginnings, Michael Duff's men embarked on a winning streak of four games before the international break. And although the resume to action hasn't worked to plan, the home side would be vying to return to full form and climb up spots in the EFL Championship.
Like their rivals Watford's start to the season hasn't gone according to the plan with the side winning just three games in their opening 12 games. The latest of their wins came after the international break as Yaser Asprilla's late strike broke the deadlock and gave Watford the much deserved three points against Sheffield Wednesday.
The Hornets would be looking to gain momentum from their victory against a side who are on a back of a disappointing loss and all three points on Tuesday could see them leapfrog multiple sides to reach higher in England's second division.
