A night under the lights at The Vic is something to be enjoyed.

Watford were left frustrated in midweek as they were held to a goalless draw by a Millwall side who are seriously struggling to win games at the moment. Goals continue to be a problem for the Hornets, but Xisco Munoz's side are still unbeaten in four league games.

QPR outshot relegation strugglers Derby in their last league game but struggled to convert chances as they slipped to a 1-0 home defeat. That result ended a run of back-to-back league wins for the London club.

Watford striker Troy Deeney has opened the scoring in two of his last three appearances.

Only Swansea (14) have conceded fewer goals than Watford (18) in the Championship this season.

Watford are enjoying a three-game unbeaten run at home in the Championship, although QPR are unbeaten in their last five away games.

Injury News.

There has been hopeful news about Ken Sema, but none of the other walking wounded are fit yet.

QPR report that they have one or two with niggles and are waiting to see how they are.

ENJOY THE GAME WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD ​

 

Watford have won their last three home games, but are unbeaten in their last five home games in the Championship. QPR drew at Norwich during the unbeaten run in their last five away games so it could be a tricky fixture on Monday.

 

I agree Luther. We should remember our past in this division when nothing could be taken for granted.

 

Pedro in for Gray I presume?

They seem to swap around each game.

 

Unless we play the new striker.



Who we haven't signed yet...

 

Gladiators - ready!

 

and?

 

No such thing as an easy fixture in this league. If we're going to win at all, let alone win big, we're going to have to work bloody hard for it and have some finishing go our way for once. Can't just turn up and expect it to happen like, say, at Millwall.

 

Remember this?

 

Great finish !

More than Gray can do .

 

And well set up by Cowie - none of our current midfielders seem to manage that.

 

Will Chalobah be in our team or at Leicester?!

 

Chalobah is in the squad for the game v QPR allegedly

 

But for how long?

 

Brendan Rodgers worked with Chalobah when they were both at Chelsea, so would know him well. Leicester fans not exactly excited.

 

Seens to be a real mess .

Such limbo and probably means Chalobah won’t be fully focused on tonight .

 

According to 3CR Gosling might not be involved .

 

I wouldn't expect him to be involved tonight - it's a rarity these days when our new signings get thrown straight into the team.

 

They need time to get injured before they could be in contention for the first team.

 

Turning up will almost certainly be enough tonight.
