Team News

Watford
Blackburn
  • Valerien Ismael could hand starts to Ismael Kone and Tom Ince when Watford welcome Blackburn to Vicarage Road on Sunday afternoon.
  • Right-back Jeremy Ngakia and versatile defender Francisco Sierralta are both doubtful after missing the game against Stoke with knocks.
  • Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will call upon Callum Brittain this weekend with left-back Harry Pickering suspended.
  • Sam Gallagher impressed from the bench on his return from injury last weekend and will step into the starting XI for the trip to Watford.

Prediction

  • Watford couldn't produce a response to Andre Vidigal's second-half goal last weekend as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat on their travels against Stoke. The Hornets are still rebuilding their squad under new manager Valerien Ismael and will be content with a return of four points from their opening three league fixtures.
  • An early Harry Pickering red card looked to have killed any chance of a result for Blackburn against Hull last weekend, but Rovers put in a shift despite their disadvantage, scoring late on to take the lead before conceding twice in the final ten minutes. Bad luck has cost Jon Dahl Tomasson's side in the early stages of the season.
