    WATFORD v BLACKBURN ROVERS
    please log in to view this image

    Vicarage Road Stadium
    Saturday 26th October 2024

    Kick Off :1230 BST


    Watford welcome John Eustace and his Blackburn team on the last day this year of BST.
    Only three points separate the two sides, with both teams picking up the vast majority of their points at their home games.

    Rovers have lost to Coventry City and Plymouth Argyle in their last two away games, previously posting three draws in a row on their travels.
    They are now tasked with ending Watford's nine-game unbeaten home record in the league, a streak that stretches back to last season.

    After the horror show up the M1 , Watford had six changes for the trip to Yorkshire on Tuesday, and despite the 2-1 loss, there were many positives that could be taken from this new-look side.


    Team News

    Ogbonna will be out 6 to 8 weeks. TDB won’t feature on Sat as more tests on knee swelling. Ebosele and Kayembe fine after Tuesday. Sierralta was planned for 60 mins on Tuesday, fully fit now. Ngakia another week, Keben the same.

    A home game so hopefully a win to ease any suggestions of a crisis or the manager being under pressure.

    I see some are complaining Clev is trying to be positive and talk up the team probably hoping to encourage them and give confidence.

    Are people going to keep going back to the Luton game even if we win the next few games ?

    Blackirn sound South African, or possibly Kiwi - Watforc could be the killers from from Whales

    Porteous for Morris is the only change to the starting XI. Jebbison not on the bench again.
