Leicester City defender Danny Simpson (hamstring) is back in training and has a slight chance of returning.
Wes Morgan's recovery from a thigh injury is progressing well, says Claude Puel, while Robert Huth is regaining his fitness.
Tom Cleverley is doubtful with a minor hamstring problem but Watford have no other new injuries.
Isaac Success and Craig Cathcart are close to full fitness but remain sidelined with the club's long-term absentees.

What the managers say
Claude Puel: “We try to play good football and we have to continue in this way to find a good consistency game after game."
Marco Silva: "We performed well against them [last time]. We were losing but came back to win – we want to improve our away form so that’s what we’ll try."
