Kieran Trippier is a fresh fitness concern for Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of the Watford game. He felt something before the match, and Jackson Tchatchoua is expected to replace him at right-back. Adam Armstrong also remains doubtful because of a back injury, although Wolverhampton Wanderers hope he will be fit for Saturday.
In defence, Ladislav Krejci is expected to continue at left centre-back, with Toti having missed the last match after three starts in the last five games. André has started all five recent matches and is expected to remain in midfield, while Fer López has two goals and an assist over that period.
Watford
Watford look set to make at least one change in defence after Krepin Diatta's first start against Charlton, with the full-back in line to keep his place at right wing-back for the trip to Wolves. Marc Bola, who also started for the first time in that game, provides the alternative to Jordan Zemura on the opposite side.
Iker Bravo could miss out after suffering an injury during the win over Charlton, with Martín Payero preferred in the attacking role behind Myron Boadu and Luca Kjerrumgaard. Jeremy Ngakia is also doubtful due to a thigh injury, while Edoardo Bove and Kwadwo Baah are expected to remain sidelined.
