Also, William Troost-Ekong has struggled with injuries and match fitness since returning to England from the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

A must win game for Watford

Watford will aim to curb their losing run when Brentford comes visiting Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon as the Hornets have lost four of their last five games.

According to the BBC, Brentford are on a roll now, with four wins out of their past five games as the Bees look set to retain their Premier League status in their first season in the English topflight.

If Watford lose to Brentford, they will become only the second team to lose 10 consecutive top-flight home games in a season. Birmingham City did so in 1985-86.
