Team News: Ikechi Anya on bench for Watford

Championship leaders Watford have Ikechi Anya available again and on the bench for their clash against Nottingham Forest this evening.

The winger missed Saturday's 3-0 win away at Sheffield Wednesday with a calf injury, but could take part tonight at Vicarage Road.

Troy Deeney, who has been suffering from a hamstring problem, is also among the Hornets' substitutes, while Craig Cathcart and Keith Andrews are ruled out through injury.

Meanwhile, Henri Lansbury is suspended and so will not be playing today for Stuart Pearce's side.

Forest have not won any of their last six games in all competitions, losing two.

Watford: Gomes, Paredes, Ekstrand, Bassong, Pudil, Tozser, Abdi, Munari, Forestieri, Vydra, Ighalo Subs: Bond, Deeney, Doyley, Murray, Dyer, Anya, Hoban
