Morten Gamst Pedersen comes in as one of two changes for Blackburn in their side to face Watford, who make four changes of their own.

Morten Gamst Pedersen has been reinstated to the starting XI for Blackburn Rovers in their match against Watford this afternoon.

Pedersen comes in for David Dunn, who is unavailable due to a calf strain, in one of two changes for managerless Rovers, the other one seeing Martin Olsson dropped to the bench in favour of Ruben Rochina.

Watford, meanwhile, have made four changes to their side, two of which were forced due to the suspensions of Daniel Pudil and Nathaniel Chalobah.

Jean Alan Fanchone and Connor Smith come in for the suspended duo, while manager Gianfranco Zola has also opted to replace Alex Geijo and Matej Vydra with Troy Deeney and Fernando Forestieri.

Blackburn: Robinson; Orr, Givet, Hanley, Dann; Lowe, Pedersen, Etuhu; Rochina, Rhodes, Kazim-Richards

Watford: Almunia; Hall, Doyley, Cassetti, Hoban; Smith, Fanchone, Hogg, Yeates; Deeney, Forestieri
