Ikechi Anya has returned to the Watford starting lineup for today's clash with Bournemouth.

The winger was absent for the midweek win against Bristol Rovers in the Capital One Cup because of a calf injury.

Troy Deeney is joined in attack by Fernando Forestieri, but midfielder Sean Murray, who scored twice in midweek, is left out of the squad.

Bournemouth start with Andrew Surman in midfield but are still without the injured Matt Ritchie.

Lewis Grabban, who notched a brace last week in the win over Charlton, starts but Eddie Howe is without Mohamed Coulibaly because of injury.

Wes Thomas, meanwhile, starts from the bench.

Watford: Almunia(c); Doyley, Angella, Cassetti; Faraoni, Abdi, Iriney, McGugan, Anya; Deeney, Forestieri

Bournemouth: Allsop; Francis, Ward, Cook, Daniel; Fraser, MacDonald, Arter, Surman, Pugh, Grabban
