The Hornets also drew last time out with Charlton earning a point at Vicarage Road. However, Ed Still’s side hasn’t won in three and have just one victory in their last six.
Watford have the third-best home record in the division but have picked up just four wins on their travels. That said, the U’s have only five wins at Grenoble Road and face more crucial home fixtures before the end of the season.
Will Lankshear notched his ninth league goal of the campaign at Pompey while Brodie Spencer scored his first U’s goal in the same game.
Luca Kjerrumgaard has ten Championship goals for Watford but hasn’t found the net in his last six games. Skipper Imrân Louza has seven, one of which came in their last away game at QPR.
Tyler Goodrham and Brian De Keersmaecker remain sidelined with long-term injuries but there could be a return for Jack Currie and Aidomo Emakhu.
Watford have several injuries, including Marc Bola, James Abankwah, Stephen Mfuni, Jeremy Ngakia, Othmane Maamma, Hector Kyprianou, Rocco Vata and Pierre Dwomoh.
The Hornets won the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road but the U’s won when the sides last met at Grenoble Road. However, that was Oxford’s only win in the last nine meetings, with Watford winning six.
Matt Bloomfield has only faced Watford once as a manager and his Luton side suffered a 2-0 defeat at Vicarage Road in the M1 derby.
