Watford boss Xisco tried out a new 4-3-3 system against Bristol City, which produced a stunning 6-0 win, meaning the Hornets could also name an unchanged line-up.

Troy Deeney could come back in after only being fit enough for the bench on Saturday.

New signings Dan Gosling and Achraf Lazaar made their debuts as substitutes so will be in line to feature again.
