Team News: Sean Dyche, Javi Gracia stick with same XIs

Dyche, Gracia stick with same XIs

Burnley and Watford have named unchanged starting lineups from their last Premier League outings for today's clash at Turf Moor.

The Clarets do show six changes from their midweek Europa League win against Istanbul Basaksehir, however, with Joe Hart, Ashley Westwood, Jeff Hendrick, Aaron Lennon and Stephen Ward retaining their places in the side.

Summer signing Matej Vydra is still not yet match fit and misses out on a place in the squad, meanwhile, leaving Chris Wood with the task of leading the line a week on from Burnley's 0-0 draw at Southampton.

As expected, visiting boss Javi Gracia also keeps things the same from the convincing 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, while the bench also remains untouched.

The Hornets are still without injured midfielder Tom Cleverley, and there is also no sign of Gerard Deulofeu, Nathaniel Chalobah and Stefano Okaka for the trip north.

Burnley have won three of their last four matches against Watford, completing the league double over them last season.

Burnley: Hart; Lowton, Ward, Tarkowski, Mee; Cork, Westwood; Gudmundsson, Hendrick, Lennon; Wood Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Vokes, Barnes, Gibson, Bardsley, Long

Watford: Foster, Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Pereyra, Deeney, Gray Subs: Gomes, Prodl, Mariappa, Success, Masina, Sema, Femenia
