    Nottingham Forest have lost their last three games and currently sit just two points above the relegation zone.

    Chris Hughton’s honeymoon period is definitely over and his management is set to be severely tested in the next month with a heavily-congested period of fixtures.

    A loss could dump them back into the bottom three while a Watford win could see them top. The Hornets are unbeaten in five games, having dropped just four points during that time.

    Head to Head

    These two meet for the first time since 2016 and play their first league game against each other since 2015.

    The hosts have lost both of their previous encounters with the Hornets, their last home win over them coming in 2014.

    That was their only victory at the City Ground in their last five home fixtures against Watford.

    Historically, Forest have beaten Watford 17 times and have lost on 16 occasions, sharing 18 draws between them.

    Team News


    Nottingham Forest are without a number of key players and this has shown in recent matches.

    Luke Freeman will likely not feature, although Samba Sow and Lewis Grabban are nearing full recovery – but won’t be ready in time for Wednesday.

    Injured: Joe Worrall, Tyler Blackett, Fouad Bachirou, Samba Sow, Lewis Grabban, Luke Freeman



    As soon as Andre Gray returned to the starting line-up, he picked up another hamstring injury. He will not be available for this game.​

    Troy Deeney could start a second game in a row after the captain netted a penalty in their weekend mauling of Preston North End.

    Injured: Isaac Success, Adam Masina, Tom Bele-Bashiru, Andre Gray

    Doubtful: Tom Cleverley

    No news as yet when our Covid 19 players are available.

    https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...ill-hughes-adam-masina-back-training-watford/

    Cleverly & Hughes may play some part, I am guessing bench at best.

    Funny how they don't mention who are the COVID players it MUST be Sema, Capoue and maybe Murray, who are supposedly coming back to trainin soon. No names mentioned mind. Bit stupid all the secrecy there. Sometimes, the news from the club is turgid.

    Masina maybe back to 1st team in two weeks, but, positive notes from training there.

    Isaac doesn't even get a mention, what a flop he's been.

    Ivic doesn't like to rush players back, does he? Guess just as well, with all the fixtures and all.

    An away win tomorrow, would go down verrrrry nicely.

    COYH!!!!!!

    December 2: Middlesbrough vs Swansea* (7pm), Blackburn vs Millwall*, Luton vs Norwich*, Nottingham Forest vs Watford*, Sheffield Wednesday vs Reading, Wycombe vs Stoke* (All 7.45pm)

    Got it... I wonder if it will be just the one camera appoach which I watched before...

    Can anyone say if ...when on the red button... it is on Hive too ? and if so is it a multi camera approach on Hive?

    much appreciated

    Is Hive worth it?
    (Not based on performance or the results of the team, that is out of control - just the Hive package in general.)
    At 28 pesos to the pound I'd rather the radio or a stream, but, slightly tempted.

    Good to see that Tom Cleverley is on the way back and makes the bench.

    Good evening all.
    I am on Hive. I don't mind paying £10 for a stable video stream without spooling, crashes and pop up adverts and presumably it helps the club. Not sure if red button matches are on hive, hope they are not being a sky subscriber.
    Enjoy the game all & COYH.

    Chirs Iwelumo (The statue) on TS2.

    I remember going to games and being less than impressed with his "performances."

    I'm watching on iFollow, which is actually using the Hive stream.
