Kiko Femenia - Out against Man United Femenia is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Manchester United because of a slight knock.

Impact Femenia misses out Saturday with Jeremy Ngakia getting a start at right-back in a tough spot. Femenia had an exclusive role on corners for Watford, so that role will have to go elsewhere, possibly to Tom Cleverley and Imran Louza, who both remain in the starting XI.

Juraj Kucka - Expected to be option Saturday Kucka (abdomen) has been training and should be an option Saturday against Manchester United, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Kucka is expected to be available Saturday, but he's missed the last two matches and it's unclear if he's fit enough to start in his first match back. Imran Louza has started in his place in the midfield and that could be the case again, though neither of them has much fantasy value.

Joao Pedro - Could be available against Man United Pedro (calf) has trained and could be available for Saturday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact Pedro has missed the last two matches with a calf issue and prior to that he was coming off the bench, so nothing is expected to change Saturday. He had a nice run of matches, but Joshua King still has the leg up on Pedro and Cucho Hernandez for the starting XI despite a run of no production.

Joshua King - Training ahead of Manchester trip King (undisclosed) has been training and is expected to be available for Saturday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Roy Hodgson.

Impact King looks fine ahead of Saturday and should be in his usual starting XI role. Of course, that doesn't mean everything, as he's totaled just one shot on goal in his last four starts and hasn't hit the back of the net since November. Despite being a regular up front, the numbers haven't been there the last two months for King.

Joshua King - Picks up injury in loss King was forced off in the 51st minute of Wednesday's loss against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed injury.

Impact King picked up a knock in training earlier in the week and then playing Wednesday made it worse, so there's a chance he misses Saturday's trip to Manchester. If that's the case, Cucho Hernandez is next in line to start, depending on the health of Joao Pedro.

Juraj Kucka - Late test against Palace Kucka (knock) is a late test for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Both are making incredibly good progress, much quicker than we expecte...

Impact It doesn't sound like Kucka will be ready to start Wednesday unless he makes a really quick recovery. Prior to injury, he started seven of the past eight matches, but following their recent win, there's a chance that starting spot disappears after Imran Louza came in for him against Villa.

Samir - Good to face Crystal Palace Samir didn't suffer a concussion over the weekend and is training ahead of Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "He's a tough boy, he was fin...

Impact It looks like Samir won't miss any time after subbing off late over the weekend after receiving a knock to the head. He has a few full days of training in and will likely return to the XI against Palace where he's produced impressive tackle, interception and clearance numbers since joining Watford.

Joao Pedro - Late test for Wednesday Pedro (knock) is making progress but is still considered a doubt for Wednesday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Roy Hodgson. "Both are making incredibly good pr...

Impact Even if available, Pedro is unlikely to be in the XI Wednesday having been benched the prior two matches. He seems to be the odd man out despite a run of solid performances and the return of Ismaila Sarr definitely won't help his playing time.

Samir - Leaves injured at Aston Villa Samir made two tackles (one won), two interceptions and six clearances before subbing off with a head injury during Saturday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa.

Impact Samir led his side in clearances to help them earn three points on the road plus the clean sheet. The centerback was subbed off with a head injury during stoppage time, though. He should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Crystal Palace.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hassane Kamara - Makes four interceptions at Villa Kamara registered three tackles (one won), four interceptions, four clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa.

Impact Kamara had a great defensive outing, leading his side in interceptions to help them keep the clean sheet and earn the road win. The left-back also received his fourth yellow card of the season, though. He will now need to be careful against Crystal Palace on Wednesday to avoid a suspension.

Emmanuel Dennis - Scores winner at Aston Villa Dennis scored one goal from two shots, created one chance, sent in two inaccurate crosses, made five tackles (two won) and three clearances in Saturday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa.

Impact Dennis scored the game-winner in the 78th minute, his ninth goal in the season. The forward also led his side in tackles before subbing off later. He will now look to find the back of the net again when they host Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Oghenekaro Etebo - Getting minutes with U23s Etebo (quad) is in the starting XI for Monday's match with the U23s.

Impact Etebo is working on his fitness with the U23s, which means he'll likely remain out Wednesday for the senior team's match against Crystal Palace. Etebo hasn't played since September, but he's getting closer and should be an option in the coming weeks.
