Team News

Watford
Norwich
  • Goalkeeper and club captain Dan Bachmann is suspended for the visit of Norwich, so expect Ben Hamer to deputise in between the sticks.
  • Valerien Ismael will make at least one further change with Ismael Kone expected to return in central midfield.
  • Expect an unchanged starting XI from David Wagner in midweek following a narrow victory against QPR on Saturday.
  • Star winger Jon Rowe missed that game with a heel injury and remains sidelined for the trip to Vicarage Road.

Prediction

  • Watford were on course for a respectable point against league leaders Leicester heading into the final 15 minutes before a late Jamie Vardy brace condemned the Hornets to a 2-0 away defeat. Valerien Ismael's men were unbeaten in six league games heading into that fixture but now must work to rebuild their momentum.
  • David Wagner is currently overseeing an unexpected redemption arc at Norwich. The German manager watched on as his side beat QPR 1-0 on Saturday thanks to an early Hwang Ui-Jo goal. Most expected the Canaries and Wagner to part ways during the following a return of one point from six league games, but they have hit back with consecutive league wins.
