Team News: Gianfranco Zola makes three Watford changes for Nottingham Forest visit

Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has made three changes to his starting lineup for the visit of Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

At the back, Marco Cassetti replaces Joel Ekstrand while further forward Daniel Pudil and Diego Fabbrini take the places of Marco Faraoni and Fernando Forestieri.

Both sides head into the match with unbeaten starts to the season but it's Forest who have impressed most. They are the only side with a 100% record and will regain top spot with three points today.

Billy Davies has stuck with the same XI that trounced Bolton last week, with Jamie Mackie leading the line.

Watford: Almunia; Doyley, Angella, Cassetti; Anya, McGugan, Iriney, Abdi, Pudil; Deeney, Fabbrini

Forest: Darlow; Lichaj, Wilson, Hobbs, Cohen; Halford, Guedioura, Lansbury, Reid; Majewski; Mackie
