Preview: Watford vs. Derby County

Sports Mole previews Watford's clash at home to Derby County in the Championship.

Watford will be looking to close the gap on the automatic promotion spots when they entertain Derby County in the Championship on Saturday.

A win for Gianfranco Zola's side could take them to within two points of second place, which is currently occupied by Queens Park Rangers.

Meanwhile, Steve McLaren's Rams will be hoping to make it back-to-back wins following their 3-1 win at home to Leeds United before the international break.

Teenager Will Hughes is expected to return for the Rams, after he pulled out of the England Under-21 squad for their recent games against San Marino and Lithuania.
