Team News

Newcastle
Watford
  • Newcastle have huge injury problems heading into this weekend's match at home to Watford.
  • Matt Ritchie has been ruled out for at least two months with ankle ligament damage, while Emil Krafth, Jetro Willems and Miguel Almirón face late fitness tests.
  • Joelinton missed out against Leicester in midweek through injury and Bruce will be desperate to have them available here, particularly as Allan Saint-Maximin is already sidelined.
  • Newcastle could be missing as many as 12 players this weekend.
  • Watford manager Javi Gracia is under huge pressure to save his job and should look to change formation now that he has wide players like Danny Welbeck and Ismaila Sarr available.
  • Troy Deeney is the only player unavailable for Watford.

Prediction

  • Newcastle are 19th in the Premier League and Watford are bottom. Watford are the only team yet to pick up a point in the Premier League.
  • This is simply a must win match for Watford manager Javi Gracia, who is reportedly under pressure to save his job.
  • Injuries are tallying up at Newcastle and Watford simply have to take advantage to get their first points on the board.
