Preview: Watford vs. Leeds United

Sports Mole looks ahead to the Championship match between Watford and Leeds United on Tuesday night.

The mood at Leeds United has been lifted following the news that Massimo Cellino will be granted permission to complete his takeover of the club and now the Yorkshire side will look to get back to winning ways at Watford tomorrow.

Brian McDermott's men have lost four in a row to slump to 16th in the table.

Sam Byram is definitely out at Vicarage Road so Scott Wootton might have to fill in at right-back. Elsewhere, Alex Mowatt and Luke Murphy will be hoping for recalls in midfield.

Hosts Watford are 10 points off the playoffs with six games of the season left and look set to finish in mid-table after their lightning start to the campaign.

They will be without Cristian Battocchio after the Italian picked up a knee injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

The last time these two met it was a thrilling 3-3 draw at Elland Road in December.
