What odds this battle of 14th versus 15th and joint-lowest scorers in the division being last on Match of the Day? Albion have the worst shots-on-target average in the country, while Watford are on a stinking run of form (losing four of their last five) and might have an eye on next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final. The reverse fixture, predictably, ended scoreless. Alan Smith
