My Greatest Goal: Troy Deeney's playoff winner Troy Deeney, Manuel Almunia and Andy King discuss Watford's dramatic winner against Leicester in the 2013 Championship playoff semi-final.
Nicolas N`Koulou - Getting minutes with Academy Nkoulou (hamstring) is starting Tuesday's match for the Academy team.
Impact Nkoulou has been out most of the season with this hamstring injury, so he'll get back his fitness with the youth squad. It's unlikely he'll carve out a role under Roy Hodgson the rest of the way, but he should at least be an option off the bench for the back line with chances to start, depending on how his return goes.

Juraj Kucka - First assist of year Kucka had an assist with his lone chance created while taking two shots (on goal), crossing once accurately and making five tackles during Sunday's 2-1 win over Southampton.
Impact Kucka set up Cucho Hernandez in the 34th minute assisting what would be the game winning goal for Watford. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder while his five tackles led Watford in the win.

Ben Foster - Five saves in win Foster allowed a goal while making five saves during Sunday's 2-1 win over Southampton.
Impact Foster allowed a goal at the end of the first half but shutout Southampton in the second 45 to help Watford claim all three points. The keeper has now allowed 29 goals in 18 league starts while his five saves upped his season total to 43.

Joao Pedro - Back in starting XI Pedro (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Southampton.
Impact Pedro is back in the starting XI Sunday after missing out midweek because of COVID-19. He didn't manage a shot in his last start in which Cucho Hernandez scored and assisted, and this time, Joshua King is healthy and waiting on the bench to feature.
MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kiko Femenia - Stays in starting XI Femenia (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Southampton.
Impact Femenia stays in the starting XI Sunday despite removing himself in the 30th minute only a few days ago. It's unclear how fit he is, but he's in the XI and is expected to have a majority role on set pieces again. The question is his fitness after that most recent performance.
MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Craig Cathcart - Makes eight clearances in loss Cathcart made eight clearances during Thursday's 4-0 loss against Wolves.
Impact Cathcart was one of Watford's few positives here, racking up a lot of clearances despite his side being completely outperformed. The centre back is always a reliable fantasy choice regardless of his team results, being among EPL top five in both clearances and blocked shots. Up next for Cathcart is Sunday's visit to Southampton.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Foster - Concedes four in loss Foster made two saves and conceded four goals during Thursday's 4-0 loss against Wolves.
Impact Foster had a nightmare start here, being beaten three times in 21 minutes, which included a bizarre mistake that led to the third goal. The goalkeeper allowed one more during the closing stages of the match and now has seven goals conceded over the last two outings. He'll try to bounce back during Sunday's visit to Southampton.

Kiko Femenia - Exits injured Thursday Femenia was forced off in the 30th minute of Thursday's match against Wolves because of an undisclosed injury.
Impact It was a brutal first half for Watford on Thursday, as they entered the break down three goals in addition to Femenia being subbed off. On a short week, it's not a good sign for Femenia and it doesn't help that Jeremy Ngakia is injured, as well. It's possible Christian Kabasele moves into the XI with Craig Cathcart moving to right-back.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joshua King - Back in starting XI King (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact King is in the starting XI Thursday, though it's unknown how healthy he is after missing the last match with a hamstring issue. He's starting because Joao Pedro is out and in addition to it being a difficult matchup, it's hard to see King going a full 90 with this issue.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Pedro - Out against Wolves Pedro tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday and is out against Wolves on Thursday.
Impact Pedro tested negative ahead of Thursday's match, but that's not enough to play because of protocols. Joshua King is healthy and back in the XI, while Pedro should be available for Sunday's trip to Southampton if he continues to test negative.
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Pedro - Goes full 90 in loss Pedro had one chance created, three interceptions and four clearances in Sunday's 3-2 loss against Arsenal.
Impact Pedro was back in the starting XI Sunday with Ismaila Sarr injured and he could keep that role going forward. Pedro and Cucho Hernandez are expected to fight for starts with Sarr out, while they both could continue to start if Joshua King is ready to re-enter the XI.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joshua King - Late test against Wolves King (hamstring) is a late-fitness check for Thursday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact King missed the loss against Arsenal and seems unlikely to start Thursday on a short week. Watford's attack played well in the loss, as Cucho Hernandez took part in a couple goals and Joao Pedro went a full 90, somewhat out of necessity.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Ngakia - Out at least one more match Ngakia (hamstring) is targeting a return from injury for Sunday's match against Southampton.
Impact Ngakia got a rare start a couple weeks ago with Kiko Femenia injury, but then he got injured in the process. Once he's able to return, he'll likely be back in his bench role, compiling just three starts since October.
