Team News

Watford
Sunderland
  • Daniel Bachmann and Francisco Sierralta both suffered injuries during the game against Norwich and will miss out on Saturday.
  • Expect Ryan Porteous to return at centre-back, while Jonathan Bond will start in goal after taking over from Bachmann against Man City on Tuesday night.
  • No changes are expected from Regis Le Bris this weekend following a strong performance against Middlesbrough.
  • Alan Browne is a doubt for the away side, who have three confirmed absentees for the trip to Vicarage Road.

Prediction

  • Watford were left humiliated by Johannes Thorup's Norwich side last weekend in a 4-1 away defeat at Carrow Road.
  • The Hornets started the campaign in fine form with three successive victories, but have claimed just one point from the last nine available since then.
  • Chris Rigg's clever first-half goal was all that separated Sunderland and Middlesbrough at the full-time whistle last weekend as the Black Cats returned to winning ways on home soil.
  • Regis Le Bris' side trail league leaders West Brom by one point after winning five of their first six league matches.
