Watford secured their place in the top half of the Championship with a 2-1 win over struggling QPR at Loftus Road at Sunday lunchtime.
The Hornets have two long-distance Jake Livermore strikes to thank for the three points against a Hoops side that put up a good fight against their London rivals. Valérien Ismaël's side are now just one point off the play-off zone and unbeaten in three after a consistent start to 2024. Next up for the side in the Championship are trips to Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday as the race for a top six place hots up.
Here's how the Watford players fared against QPR on Sunday.
