Watford are looking to continue their hunt for automatic promotion this afternoon when they face Nottingham Forest at Vicarage Road.
A knee ligament injury to stand-in captain Tom Cleverley in the 2-0 win against Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday night means head coach Xisco Munoz will have to shuffle parts of his team today, with new signing Carlos Sanchez available to play.
Here's how I think they will line up.
Formation: 4-3-3
GK: Daniel Bachmann
No reason to change the keeper.
RB: Kiko Femenia
Was superb again on Wednesday night and Watford will need him to be at his best again today.
CB: Francisco Sierralta
Proving himself to be a very important addition to the team over the last couple of months.
CB: William Troost-Ekong
Works very well alongside Sierralta and was good enough against Wycombe that he will likely keep his place.
LB: Adam Masina
Achraf Lazaar's injury means it is unlikely to be anyone else at left back today.
CM: Ben Wilmot
Xisco Munoz has used him in a midfield position a couple of times from the bench, so could bring him in today, with Sanchez perhaps not adapted to his surroundings just yet.
CM: Will Hughes
Pushed a little further forward, taking on Cleverley's role.
CM: Philip Zinckernagel
Had a positive first league start on Wednesday and will be hoping to build on that performance.
LW: Joao Pedro
Returning from suspension, filling in for Ken Sema, who has looked a little tired in recent games.
RW: Ismaila Sarr
Was magnificent on Wednesday night. Would be a surprise to see him not in the team.
ST: Andre Gray
Scored both goals against Wycombe, enough to keep his place.
