Duo worry for Hornets

Adrian Mariappa and Alex Kacaniklic are doubts for Watford's trip to Bristol City.

Centre-back Mariappa finished Saturday's stalemate against Coventry with an ankle injury and faces a race against time to be fit for the clash at Ashton Gate.

Winger Kacaniklic is expected to have a better chance of involvement, however, despite being forced off 10 minutes from time with a leg problem.

Manager Sean Dyche has options should Mariappa not make it, with Dale Bennett back in full training following his bout of concussion at West Ham while fellow defender Martin Taylor is also fit again after a broken toe.

Otherwise, long-term injury victim Stephen McGinn (knee) is the only absentee as he continue his road to recovery.

Teenage striker Britt Assombalonga was handed his first-team debut for the Hornets at the weekend and will look to keep his starting berth ahead of challenges from the likes of Joe Garner and Chris Iwelumo.
