Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Watford at Portman Road on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tractor Boys are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 3 of the 25 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was less than a year ago, in March 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division One match.
