Watford v Preston North End team news: Johnny Kenny gets first start in one of three changes
Three changes for PNE.
Paul Heckingbottom has named his starting XI to take on Watford at Vicarage Road this evening.
There’s three changes to the side that defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1, as Odel Offiah, Andrija Vukcevic and Johnny Kenny - making his first start - come in for Caleb Wiley, Stanley Mills and Delano Burgzorg.
Callum Lang unsurprisingly retains his place in the side after bagging a brace on Saturday, and will be looking to add to his PNE tally on his 28th birthday. It looks like North End are playing a back three in Hertfordshire tonight.
As for the Hornets, they have made six changes from the side that lost 1-0 to West Brom on Saturday. They have only named eight substitutes, two of which are goalkeepers. Former PNE loan man Stephy Mavididi is on the bench for Watford. He was a deadline day loan signing from Leicester.
Preston North End starting XI vs Watford: Iversen, Offiah, Storey, Gibson, Clarke, Leroy, Thompson, Vukcevic, Devine, Lang, Kenny. Subs: Nicholls, Lindsay, Erabi, Small, Wiley, Mills, Gibbs, Moran, Burgzorg.
Watford starting XI vs PNE: Ravaglia, Keben, Pollock, Coulibaly, Traore, Kyprianou, Payero, Kayembe, Nabizada, Vata, Doumbia. Subs: Walker, Bachmann, Maamma, Kjerrumgaard, Bravo, Zemura, Mavididi, Eames
