Watford are expected to give several young players another chance to impress at Millwall in the FA Cup fourth round this weekend.

The Hornets face the Lions on Sunday, just two days before a Premier League game at Arsenal, as Walter Mazzarri's squad is put to the test.

Defender Christian Kabasele is a doubt with the cramp he suffered at Bournemouth while Jose Holebas is suspended after picking up a tenth booking.

New signing Mauro Zarate serves a ban carried over from Italy while Mazzarri will consider another recent arrival M'Baye Niang but he is more likely to feature in midweek. 

Defender Brandon Mason looks set to come in after impressing on his first start against Burton in the last round while Jerome Sinclair should also feature.

Mazzarri, who will also start goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon, said: “Slowly we’re getting back many players but we also need to check on the conditions of these players.

"We will see better tomorrow and mainly I will have to check on Kabasele."
