    TEAM NEWS
    Troy Deeney could return for Watford against Bristol City having served a four-game ban for a red card against Huddersfield Town on 16 December.

    Kiko Femenia, Will Hughes, Younes Kaboul, Miguel Britos, Craig Cathcart, Nathaniel Chalobah and Isaac Success all remain out injured for the Hornets.

    Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has promised to make several changes.

    Cauley Woodrow, Matty Taylor and Niclas Eliasson are among the fringe players set to start for the Championship side.

    MATCH FACTS
    • Watford have progressed from their previous two FA Cup ties against Bristol City in 1931-32 and 2013-14.
    • Bristol City have not won any of their last 13 FA Cup matches against Premier League opposition since winning 1-0 at Anfield against Liverpool in January 1994 with a goal from Brian Tinnion.
    • Watford were eliminated from the League Cup by the Bristol City earlier this season - they have never been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions by the same opponent in a season.
    • Bristol City have not progressed beyond the third round of the FA Cup without a replay since January 2001, when they beat Huddersfield Town - their three qualifications since have all been via replays in 2006-07, 2014-15 and 2016-17.
    Bristol City boss Lee Johnson says he will definitely make changes for Saturday's game with one eye on the midweek Carabao Cup semi-final clash with Manchester City.

    "I've got to be smart now and there are players that I want to give a go to," he said.

    "The likes of Cauley Woodrow, Matty Taylor and Niclas Eliasson will definitely start and I'm looking forward to giving them that opportunity.

    "I want to see a few of our players for the future and hopefully our supporters will understand that we need to give some of our senior players a rest."

    I see this as a chance for some of our fringe players to prove themselves.
    I don’t hope we lose - I just won’t get upset about it.
    If by some miracle we manage to win then we just keep playing our ‘cup squad’ throughout our time in the Comp.

    Not worried about that game, the worries are conceded 10 goals in 3 games with Man C coming up. Not sure what all this will do for confidence..
    Looks like defensive issues need addressing!
