Team News

Watford
Cardiff
  • Expect at least two changes from the home side with Yaser Asprilla and Emmanuel Dennis pushing for starts.
  • Mattie Pollock impressed when handed an opportunity at centre-back in midweek and could retain his place in the starting XI.
  • Erol Bulut could hand a debut to centre-back Ryotaro Tsunoda this weekend after he signed from Yokohama F. Marinos.
  • New signing Famara Diedhiou could make the bench when the teams are announced on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Watford produced fewer chances than their relegation-threatened opposition on Wednesday night, but a solid defensive display ensured that the Hornets claimed a point following a goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
  • Home form is an issue for Valerien Ismael's side, who are winless in four at Vicarage Road.
  • Cardiff took the lead early on during their last league game against Plymouth but the Bluebirds failed to push on, conceding three times in a comprehensive away defeat.
  • The Welsh side have now lost three of their last four league games, leading some to question Erol Bulut's management.
