Roy Hodgson has named an unchanged team for today’s visit to Vicarage Road to take on Watford, as he keeps faith in the same players that beat Brighton and Hove Albion seven days ago.
Hodgson has named the same starting XI as well as a strong bench, including Christian Benteke and Alexander Sørloth should the Eagles need some firepower as the game progresses.
The Hornets have made three changes to their side that lost 1-0 to Huddersfield Town last Saturday – the fourth time this season they’ve lost a game in injury-time.
Sebastian Prodl is ill and is replaced by Christian Kabasele, while Daryl Janmaat is dropped in preference to Jose Holebas. Meanwhile, Stefano Okaka is recalled in attack, with Kiko Femina the man to give way.
Watford: Karnezis, Holbas, Kabasele, Cathcart, Mariappa, Capoue, Doucoure, Hughes, Okaka, Pereyra, Deeney. Subs: Gomes, Janmaat, Britos, Femina, Richarlison, Gray, Sinclair.
Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, McArthur, Loftus-Cheek, Townsend, Zaha. Subs: Speroni, Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Riedewald, Lee, Sørloth, Benteke.
