Team News

Brighton
Watford
  • Bernardo has returned to training and is an option here.
  • Alireza Jahanbakhsh is back from international duty and could make the bench this weekend.
  • José Izquierdo is still ruled out for the home side, however.
  • Anthony Knockaert, Yves Bissouma and Beram Kayal will push for starts if Chris Hughton tinkers with his starting XI on Saturday.
  • Adam Masina, Isaac Success and Ken Sema will hope to benefit from any rotation applied by manager Javi Gracia.
  • Abdoulaye Doucoure failed to recover from injury in time to face Tottenham in midweek and he remains a doubt here.
  • Gracia has suggested Tom Cleverley is struggling with the intensity of Premier League following his early withdrawal in midweek. He may drop out of the XI this weekend as a result.

Prediction

  • Brighton will be shell-shocked after conceding four unanswered second half goals against Fulham on Tuesday to lose 4-2. The Seagulls are now winless in their last four matches and have lost their last three in the Premier League.
  • Watford conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes against Tottenham to lose 2-1 on Wednesday night. The Hornets were unbeaten in six matches prior to their trip to Wembley in midweek.
  • Only one team has scored in each of the last four meetings between the two sides, meaning the first goal may even be enough to win the match. Brighton have had an extra 24 hours to prepare for this match and that may work in their favour.
