Away Fans' Guide | Watford (A)

Argyle head to Watford for the second round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, 27 August.

The Pilgrims now focus on cup action, having progressed to this stage after a 3-0 win over Cheltenham Town at Home Park earlier this month.

Our away fans' guide is below, for supporters visiting Vicarage Road this evening.
