We have an excellent record against Watford, winning each of our last 15 meetings in all competitions by an aggregate score of 58-8.
The only longer winning run against a single opponent in English football history is our ongoing run of 16 in a row against Fulham.
Ahead of this game, we remember how the likes of Yaya Toure, Nicolas Otamendi, Owen Hargreaves and Darren Huckerby have produced amazing moments at this stage of this competition.
