Watford mounting a challenge

28 January 2013 00:12
Five wins in the last six League games see them close the gap on 2nd place to 1 point.

They are still 11 points behind City having played the same number of games but they play again on Tuesday away at Bristol City.

Next Saturday when Cardiff are away at Leeds Watford are at home to Bolton.

There's a crucial game on Thursday night when Leicester entertain Wolves. And Palace are playing on Wednesday away at Huddersfield.

Last Saturday the results were:

In the FA Cup Hull City were knocked out by Barnsley while Middlesbrough progressed to round 5 where they will face either Brentford or Chelsea. Leicester face a replay against Huddersfield with the winners entertaining Wigan. Let's hope it takes their mind off the League.
