Watford have been successful with an appeal to overturn Roberto Pereyra's red card from the FA Cup third round tie with Tranmere Rovers.
The Argentine midfielder was given an instant dismissal for a reaction to a challenge from one of the Rovers players, but the Hornets have since appealed the referee's decision to send him off and today they have learnt that appeal was successful.
Pereyra will now be available for the replay at Prenton Park, as well as this weekend's trip to Bournemouth.
