This Saturday, Watford host Brighton and Hove Albion at Vicarage Road in the Premier League.
Having suffered a cruel 1-0 loss at the hands of West Ham midweek, Roy Hodgson is still looking to claim his first victory as Hornets manager.
A 0-0 draw against Burnley last Saturday showed instant signs of defensive improvement, but Brighton will likely provide another test for that progress.
No doubt, Hodgson will want to put out a strong team against the Seagulls – with that in mind, HertsLive has the latest injury news.
The good news for Watford is, there are no fresh injury concerns despite the team having to play those games against Burnley and West Ham in the space of four days in the past week.

In fact, there could be a new man available in Ismaila Sarr. Speaking to the press ahead of Saturday’s game, Hodgson gave his verdict on the situation.
“He comes back tomorrow, so I will see him then,” he said.
However, when asked if he will play, the boss did not commit to that being the case, saying: “I can’t say, I haven’t met him yet to be honest.”
Having been out with a quad injury since September, Peter Etebo is slowly heading back towards full fitness.
