Adding further support are Tyrhys Dolan, Andreas Weimann and Callum Brittain, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Vakoun Issouf Bayo and Edo Kayembe have been pivotal for Watford’s attack, guided by Tom Cleverley, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Bayo has emerged as Watford’s leading scorer in Championship this season, netting ten goals, while Chakvetadze remains their top assist provider in the competition with six.
