Watford currently sit 19th on 13 points with Villa just above them on 18 points.

Troy Deeney could be rested, with head coach Nigel Pearson mindful of the captain’s injury problems this season.
Conor Hourihane is likely to be recalled to Villa’s starting line-up following his match-winning goal against Norwich on Boxing Day.

“The important thing for me was that we showed some real traits of resilience in what is a difficult place to come to,” said the Head Coach.
“To come away with a positive result is good for us. The mantra is, I suppose, if you can’t win, don’t get beat. We had to dig our heels in and be resilient and sometimes ride our luck but we go away with something for our efforts.”
“I am happy for the lads. We performed okay today [against Norwich]. We didn’t perform well against Southampton and we really needed this.
“We were sloppy at times but it was a really important game for us.
“Everything you get in this league you have to earn it and the lads have earnt it today.”
