Watford

Myron Boadu made his first start in Watford's last five matches during the 5-1 defeat at Cardiff City and is expected to keep his place up front for Charlton Athletic's visit. Mamadou Doumbia, who has started four of the last five matches, came on for the final 34 minutes against Cardiff and looks set to miss out on a starting role again.

Omar Traoré should retain his place at right-back, with Kévin Keben expected to continue in central defence. Soumaïla Coulibaly and Branimir Mlacic both missed the Cardiff match and are expected to remain outside the eleven, while Mattie Pollock and Jordan Zemura should complete the back four.

Charlton Athletic

Rob Apter has undergone knee surgery and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. In defence, Lloyd Jones and Billy Koumetio are expected to continue, while Kayne Ramsay should retain his place after making his first start of this run against Burnley.

Matty Godden, Nathaniel Chalobah and Collins Sichenje remain unavailable through injury. Charlton, who have drawn four of their last five league matches, sit 12th with 14 points ahead of Saturday's trip to Watford, having drawn 2-2 at Burnley in their most recent game.
