Team News

Watford
Derby
  • Tom Cleverley could hand a start to loanee wing-back Yasser Larouci, although the remainder of his starting XI should be unchanged from the dominant win against Stoke.
  • Experienced centre-back Wesley Hoedt is Watford's only injury concern heading into gameweek three.
  • Paul Warne will be forced into two changes this weekend after Kane Wilson picked up an injury and Eiran Cashin suffered a concussion during the game against Middlesbrough.
  • New signing Jacob Widell Zetterström will make his debut in between the sticks with Josh Vickers dropping to the bench.
  • Striker Jerry Yates served the final instalment of a three-match ban last Saturday and should return to the squad here.

Prediction

  • Heading into the 2024/25 campaign, many had billed Watford as potential relegation contenders, but after two games the Hornets have claimed maximum points.
  • Edo Kayembe and Giorgi Chakvetadze are both in red-hot form heading into this game, although the lack of goal threat from the club's strikers remains a concern.
  • Kayden Jackson's 14th-minute goal proved enough for Derby to claim a smash-and-grab victory against Middlesbrough at Pride Park last time out.
  • That win will do wonders for the away side's confidence after they were dismantled by Blackburn during their 4-2 opening-day defeat.

    Until Derby turn their away form around teams like Watford will enjoy 2-0 wins against them.
