Everton will be playing host to Watford in the round of 16 of the League Cup on Tuesday with both sides keen to get back to winning ways. On the Premier League standings, both are placed low; Everton in 16th place and Watford 20th. Watford have played 12 matches in all competitions this season; they have won just two. The two wins have all been in the League Cup, against Coventry City and Swansea. This is the first time they meet a Premier League team in the competition this season. Everton have not had it easy in the season either but they have not been as bad as Watford. Everton have five losses in their last seven matches and won just two in the process. They also have just two clean sheets in the process. Everton will also be taking on a Premier League side for the first time in this season’s competition. They have scored six goals in the two matches and conceded two.

On their part, Watford have not managed a win in their last four outings but they will look at the past three games with hope. They have registered three straight draws, with two clean sheets therein as they head to this match. They have scored five goals in their opening two matches in the League Cup and conceded one. Playing away from home has not come with the best results for Watford; they are winless in the five away matches played this season. They have failed to score in three of the five away matches and conceded 13 goals in the five. These sides have already met this season, with Everton winning 1-0.
