Team News: Odion Ighalo returns for Watford at Nottingham Forest

Watford have recalled striker Odion Ighalo for tonight's Championship game away at Nottingham Forest.

Ighalo takes the place of striker Matej Vydra, who scored in Saturday's 2-0 win at Millwall, and will partner captain Troy Deeney up front.

Boss Slavisa Jokanovic has made three other changes, with Craig Cathcart, Marco Motta and Almen Abdi all recalled to the starting XI.

Forest have made three changes to their side as Gary Gardner returns in central midfield after a two-game suspension.

He replaces Henri Lansbury, while there are also starts for Ben Osborn and Todd Kane. Striker Dexter Blackstock is fit enough to return to the bench after a recent knock.

Nottingham Forest: Darlow, Lichaj, Hobs, Wilson, Osborn, Mancienne, Burke, Gardner, Kane, Antonio, Akpom. Subs: Evtimov, Lansbury, Fox, Barrow, Blackstock, Vaughan, Walker.

Watford: Gomes, Cathcart, Angella, Connolly, Motta, Guedioura, Watson, Abdi, Anya, Deeney, Ighalo. Subs: Bond, Hoban, Paredes, Layun, Tozser, Munari, Vydra.
