We said: Watford 2-1 Birmingham City

Watford are in desperate need of three points in order to keep their promotion hopes alive, and we expect a response out of the Hornets following their defeat at QPR on Saturday. Birmingham will be in a relaxed mood following their much-needed victory over Rotherham and subsequent movement away from the relegation zone, but we believe this could lead to a sub-par display at Vicarage Road.
