Watford may lose players to suspension

Watford could lose key players to suspension for the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final – but manager Adrian Boothroyd is likely to earn a reprieve.

The Football Association are studying video evidence of the second-half brawl which marred last night’s 0-0 draw in the semi-final second leg against Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road – and which saw Boothroyd sent to the stands by referee Steve Tanner.
