    Watford have made a solid if uninspiring start to the campaign. Ten points from 5 games doesn't tell the full story as goals have been hard to come by in games, fortuntaly, the defence has been tight too.

    Blackburn, however, have scored 11 goals in 5 games but have lost a game more than Watford. Didn't Alan Shearer used to play for them? ;)

    Apparently, Sarr and Capoue might be back - https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...oue-available-watfords-game-blackburn-rovers/

    Found this on Twitter - someone's preferred lineup for tonight. Any thoughts?

    Personally I can't see Cleverley being being dropped, so would imagine Garner would end up on the bench. I like the formation though.

    Capoue needs to work his way back in so I expect him on the bench but I do expect Garner ahead of Quina.

    Sticking around: Etienne Capoue ( AFP via Getty Images )
    Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue is hoping to make his first appearance of the season on Wednesday against Blackburn Rovers after failing to secure a move away from Vicarage Road this summer.

    After Watford were relegated from the Premier League last season, Capoue was heavily linked with a move during the most recent transfer window.


    The French midfielder was attracting strong interest from Valencia, but the Spanish club couldn’t find the funds to sign him and reunite the 32-year-old with his old boss, Javi Gracia.


    Capoue ended up staying and, following the closure of the transfer window, he withdrew his request to leave Watford.


    The midfielder has since been reintegrated into training and could make his first appearance of the season against Blackburn after missing Friday’s win over Derby with an ankle issue.

    “He [Capoue] is the guy who wants to come back, to give his best for the team,” Watford head coach Vladimir Ivic told Watford’s website.



    “All of us are satisfied that he is coming back to work with us. It was not because of me that he stayed out the previous one-and-a-half months. It was because of his reasons; to do with injuries and the transfer window.

    “I expect he will adapt as fast as possible with the new system and the new conditions of the team.”

    Club-record signing Ismaila Sarr is also due to feature against Blackburn after missing the win over Derby on Friday.

    That came on the same day Crystal Palace failed with a £25million deadline day move for the forward, but his absence was due to him being exhausted from international duty with Senegal – who put their squad through its paces with a double session after their game with Mauritania was cancelled.

    “He stayed out because he was tired from his trip and now he works normal and is available for the game,” said Ivic.

    “I discussed with him lots about his ability and he says he’s motivated and wants to be part of us. He’s one of the players who gives his maximum every day to the practice and I am satisfied he is with us now the window is closed.

    “He is part of Watford and will show his quality and his potential. He is a fast player, who attacks the space and knows what to do one against one. He can give us different quality than other players.”

    Haven't a clue - whatever it is, it's shared by three TVs, three laptops, two iPads, two kindles, four phones and probably a partridge in a pear tree. Which I'm sure makes a bit of a difference...
