Preview: Blackburn Rovers vs. Watford

Watford will extend their winning run to four games if they get the better of Blackburn Rovers in Tuesday night's Championship match at Ewood Park.

The Hornets edged past Wigan Athletic at Vicarage Road on Saturday and manager Gianfranco Zola may choose to start match-winner Cristian Battocchio ahead of Sean Murray.

Hosts Blackburn also enter the match in winning ways after Saturday's first-half demolition at Bournemouth, where the league's top scorer Jordan Rhodes added two more to his tally.

Leon Best also marked his return to the side with a goal after resolving a dispute with manager Gary Bowyer, who should start the same lineup that toppled the Cherries.

Victory for Watford could see them break into the top two, while Blackburn are looking to edge closer to the top six.

When these two sides last met back in April, Watford handed Blackburn a 4-0 beating.
