Watford v Burnley: match preview

This article is more than 7 years old

Watford, who had looked like spiralling into chaos after a disastrous run of league form and an FA Cup exit to Millwall, now host Burnley on the back of the most unlikely away win of the season at Arsenal. Any away win for Burnley would be unlikely as they are still stuck on just the one point gained away from Turf Moor all season. They will be missing Steven Defour with a hamstring injury but have both their deadline-day signings in Robbie Brady and Ashley Westwood ready for action. Watford will assess Miguel Britos and will be tempted to give the forward M’Baye Niang his second start in five days. Paul MacInnes
