BURNLEY suffer their fifth-successive league defeat at Vicarage Road.
Michael Duff's hamstring strain rules him out, so Joey Gudjonsson comes into the midfield, with Graham Alexander reverting to right back.

1 min - Tommy Smith drives through the heart of the Burnley defence and feeds Grzegorz Rasiak, who plays in Will Hoskins, who delivers a ball to the far post to Jobi McAnuff, who does his best to miss, but volleys home at the second attempt. Great start.
Watford 1, Burnley 0
4 mins - Steven Caldwell prevents Smith going clear, but his challenge sees the ball fall to McAnuff, who shoots at Brian Jensen. Burnley are all at sea.
11 mins - Scott Loach spills Chris Eagles' cross and Martin Paterson's driven follow-up is blocked for a corner.
15 mins - Second Burnley corner leads to a third, and Robbie Blake's flag kick goes across the six-yard box, with Caldwell and Clarke Carlisle unable to get the important touch. Burnley, as you might expect, are playing the better football, but trail to a more direct Watford. Is Adrian Boothroyd still in charge?
16 mins - Gavin Hoyte, on the losing side for Arsenal at Turf Moor last month, is booked for an awful challenge on Joey Gudjonsson. Free kick king Blake is off beam this time, curling his effort well over.
23 mins - Burnley are playing all the football, and Paterson's left-footer is beaten away by Loach.
25 mins - Eagles cuts inside and shapes to curl a right-footer inside the top corner, but sends it just over the top.
35 mins - Burnley corner, taken by Blake, comes to nothing.
Watford can't get to grips with Burnley's extra man in midfield, Gudjonsson, but the Clarets can't make their superior football tell so far.
Half-Time - Watford 1, Burnley 0
51 mins - Paterson's left-foot cross is headed towards goal by Blake, and shaky keeper Loach fumbles it for a corner.
58 mins – Kalvenes is booked for holding back Smith.
60 mins – Former Claret Jon Harley replaces Rasiak.
61 mins – Steven Thompson for Blake.
68 mins - Burnley corner taken by Eagles, leads to another, taken by Elliott, which is cleared.
71 mins - Lee Williamson replaces Hoyte.
A limited, but stubborn Watford continue to frustrate the Clarets.
76 mins - Tamas Priskin for Hoskins.
78 mins - A punt downfield from Loach is headed to Harley by Carlisle, and his first-time pass is finished with Priskin's first touch. Burnley are staring down the barrel of a fifth-straight league defeat.
Watford 2, Burnley 0
Kevin McDonald for Gudjonsson, Jay Rodriguez for Paterson.
81 mins - Rodriguez drives towards the edge of the box and drills his shot wide of the near post.
88 mins - Elliott's corner finds it's way to McDonald, who shapes hos body superbly to volley goalwards, and the otherwise dodgy Loach produces an excellent save by the angle.
90+1 mins - Elliott sends a shot flying just wide.
90+4 mins – Watford break and Priskin cuts into the box before finding the bottom corner.
