Watford manager Giuseppe Sannino will be eager for his side to hit back from their demoralising 4-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Thursday night.
The Hornets held a 2-0 advantage at the break only to concede four second-half goals to remain in 16th position in the Championship table.
Sannino will be without the injured Almen Abdi, but Samba Diakite could make his debut after arriving from Queens Park Rangers.
Brighton & Hove Albion are enjoying a fine run of form under Oscar Garcia, with their latest result seeing them earn a point at third-placed Burnley.
Garcia could hand a debut to Dale Stephens, who has arrived at Albion from Charlton Athletic.
