Watford will be looking to regain the tag as the best away side in the Championship during the next week.
The Hornets had the joint best away record in the division until last weekend, when Hull City drew 1-1 with Peterborough - but the Tigers have now played a game more.
Watford are the highest scoring away team in all four divisions and will be hoping to extend that record away to Nottingham Forest on Saturday and at Bristol City on Tuesday.
The Hornets go into the match with an almost clean bill of health. Fitz Hall is fit again and Tommie Hoban is the only current first team player who is expected to miss out due to his Achilles injury.
Forest are tenth in the Championship following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with rivals Derby County and Bristol are bottom, with no win in their last four.
Both teams have recently replaced their managers. Alex McLeish was appointed Forest boss on December 27 and Sean O’Driscoll replaced Derek McInnes at City on January 14.
