Team News

Watford
Portsmouth
  • Tom Cleverley could make two changes for the visit of Portsmouth with Festy Ebosele and Edo Kayembe returning to the starting XI.
  • Midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is the home side's only injury concern after Angelo Ogbonna returned to fitness in time to face Burnley.
  • John Mousinho expects to have Regan Poole and Jordan Williams available for the trip to Vicarage Road on Boxing Day.
  • Poole should replace Ryley Towler in the back line, but Mousinho is unlikely to make any further changes following a convincing win against Coventry.

Prediction

  • Kwadwo Baah's late goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation on Saturday as Watford were beaten 2-1 by a promotion-chasing Burnley side at Turf Moor.
  • That result ended a five-match unbeaten run, but Tom Cleverley's men remain just one point behind sixth-placed Middlesbrough in the play-off places.
  • Forward Callum Lang scored four goals before the hour mark against a helpless Coventry side in gameweek 22 as Portsmouth romped to a 4-1 win on home soil.
  • John Mousinho's side have lost just one of their last six Championship fixtures and are now two points clear of the relegation zone after a difficult start to their campaign.
