Watford team news

The hosts will remain without the injured quartet of Yasser Larouci, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Kwadwo Baah and Angelo Ogbonna.

Defender Kevin Keben is set to return to action after missing eight matches through injury, while attacker Rocco Vata pushes for a recall after coming off the bench in the 2-1 defeat to West Brom last time out.

Burnley team news

The likes of Lyle Foster, Jordan Beyer, Aaron Ramsey, Manuel Benson, Jonjo Shelvey and Mike Tresor are all confined to the treatment room.

Burnley boss Scott Parker could stick with a similar lineup from the 2-1 home win against Norwich City last weekend.
