EPL: Watford v Huddersfield preview
Watford v Huddersfield preview
Watford will be hoping to avoid a third-straight Premier League defeat when they play host to poor travellers Huddersfield on Saturday.
The Hornets have already lost to Burnley and Crystal Palace in recent days and they are without a victory in the top-flight since they defeated Newcastle at the end of November.
Despite their dip in form, Marco Silva's side still remain comfortably in mid-table, although their form on home soil has been less than spectacular, as only nine of their 22 league points have come at Vicarage Road.
Watford will also have to make do without suspended duo Tom Cleverley and Marvin Zeegelaar for Saturday's match, although they will be boosted by the news that Richarlison is available, despite the fact he was substituted during the midweek defeat at Palace due to fatigue.
Miguel Britos is also available for selection, but Kiko Femenia misses out due to a hamstring injury.
Huddersfield will head into the match looking to secure their first victory on the road since the opening day of the season.
Indeed, the Terriers have not even scored a goal during that poor away run, suffering heavy defeats against Arsenal and Bournemouth in recent weeks.
The West Yorkshire club also shipped four goals on their last visit to Vicarage Road in 2015, although they did claim a 4-1 victory at the venue earlier that year.
Boss David Wagner has no fresh injury concerns and he could recall Kasey Palmer to the starting line-up after the on-loan Chelsea man was ineligible to face his parent club during the week.
