Given how well Watford played against Norwich last week, it's likely there will be few surprises in today's starting XI against Newcastle United.

Here's how we think they could line up.

 

GK: Ben Foster

With Daniel Bachmann still out injured, the 38-year-old will get another chance to claim the first choice position.

 

RB: Kiko Femenia

Is fit again after being substituted last weekend. He adds so much when on the pitch, has to start if available.

 

CB: William Troost-Ekong

Has already established himself as one of Xisco Munoz's first choice defenders.

 

CB: Craig Cathcart 

Was praised for bringing experience to the match last week. Will likely be called upon again.

 

LB: Danny Rose

Has quickly proved that he is more than capable of performing at this level.

 

CM: Moussa Sissoko

A big game against another of his former clubs.

 

CM: Juraj Kucka

Another who has taken no time at all to push his way into the first team.

 

CM: Tom Cleverley

Showed last week why he is so important. Provides that much needed link between midfield and attack.

 

RW: Ismaila Sarr

Will be looking to add to his two goals from last week.

 

LW: Emmanuel Dennis

Has started this season in good form. Needs to build on that foundation now.

 

ST: Joshua King

Backed by Xisco to start scoring soon. Has done pretty well so far, despite not finding the net.
