Team News: Two changes for Watford against Burnley

Two changes for Watford against Burnley

Watford have made two changes for the trip to face Burnley this afternoon.

Daryl Janmaat and Andre Carrillo, who were on the bench for the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last time out, are handed starts while Sebastian Prodl drops to the bench and Kiko Femenia is absent.

Miguel Britos, meanwhile, remains out of the squad for a third game.

The hosts are forced into making two changes due to injuries picked up in the 1-0 loss to Leicester City a week ago. Robbie Brady has had to undergo surgery on his knee following the game at the King Power Stadium and faces an extended period on the sidelines as a result, while Ben Mee has also been deemed unfit to participate.

Scott Arfield takes the place of Brady, while Kevin Long replaces Mee - making his first league appearance of the campaign in the process.

Burnley: Pope; Bardsley, Tarkowski, Long, Ward; Gudmundsson, Cork, Hendrick, Defour, Arfield; Wood Subs: Taylor, Vokes, Barnes, Westwood, Ulvestad, Wells, Lindegaard

Watford: Gomes; Janmaat, Mariappa, Kabasele, Zeegelaar; Cleverley, Doucoure; Carrillo, Pereyra, Richarlison; Deeney Subs: Karnezis, Prodl, Holebas, Watson, Capoue, Success, Gray
