Pair return for struggling Hornets

Watford should welcome back forwards Hameur Bouazza and Ashley Young for Monday night’s match at Manchester City.

Bouazza missed the midweek home defeat by Sheffield United with an ankle injury, while Young was forced out of the same game due to a bout of flu.

Even if those two return, manager Adrian Boothroyd will still be without goalkeeper Ben Foster (knee), defender Clarke Carlisle (thigh) and forward Marlon King (knee) as his team seek their first away win of the season.

Squad: Lee, Chamberlain, Chambers, Mackay, DeMerit, Powell, Doyley, Stewart, Shittu, Mariappa, Francis, Mahon, Spring, Bangura, Smith, Henderson, McNamee, Young, Bouazza, Priskin.
