Team News: Watford unchanged against Burnley

Watford manager Javi Gracia has maintained an unchanged starting XI ahead of their Premier League meeting with Burnley at Vicarage Road.

The Hornets drew 2-2 with Bournemouth last time out and their manager has kept faith with the players who began in that match.

Watford's only new faces come on the bench, where Andre Carrillo and Miguel Britos replace Dodi Lukebakio and Didier Ndong.

Meanwhile, Burnley have drafted Kevin Long into the heart of their defence to replace Ben Mee, who suffered a knock in training this week.

There is also a place for club captain Tom Heaton on the bench, the goalkeeper having been out of action since September.

Watford: Karnezis; Janmaat, Prodl, Mariappa, Holebas; Capoue, Doucoure; Femenia, Hughes, Pereyra; Deeney Subs: Gomes, Britos, Cathcart, Richarlison, Carrillo, Gray, Okaka

Burnley: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Long, Ward; Lennon, Westwood, Cork, N'Koudou; Barnes, Wood Subs: Heaton, Taylor, Bardsley, Marney, Hendrick, Vokes, Wells
