The cup tie was scheduled for Saturday, January 30 but Liverpool’s first team are playing Bolton at home on the same day so it has been moved to Friday, February 12.

Watford’s starting XI: Bond; Yiadom, Fenwick, Oshodi, Angus; Massey, Brooks, Penny, Mingoia; Whichelow, Murray. Subs: Irving, Thompson, Rosier, Warburton, Otshudi.
