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.

Sheffield United ended a run of three Championship games without a win by triumphing at Watford. Gustavo Hamer opened the scoring for the Blades before Watford's Jeremy Ngakia levelled. Watford had chances, but were punished by Andre Brooks' winner, which gets his side's promotion push back on track.

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 are unbeaten in each of their past four home league games against Sheffield United (W3 D1), keeping a clean sheet in each of those matches since losing 2-0 in January 2009
