What They're Saying
Fulham manager Kit Symons (via Fulham's official website): "There's no short term injuries, just longer term ones, so Tim Hoogland's still unavailable, Fernando Amorebieta's still unavailable and Jesse Joronen, so nothing new. Sean's just coming back from injury. He travelled with the squad last Saturday [at Brighton], but he'd only done a few days full training, so he wasn't quite ready. He's done full training again this week, so he's fit."
Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic (via BBC): "I have been in football all my life and I must live with this pressure. The situation is not good for us and the pressure is bigger. I expect us to have a reaction."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The future of Fulham's Bryan Ruiz remains in doubt, but in 11 league appearances, the 29-year-old has three goals and two assists. Always a danger on the ball, Ruiz is averaging 1.6 key passes.
Fulham's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Bettinelli; Stafylidis, Bodurov, Burn, Zverotic; Christensen, Williams, Parker, Ruiz; McCormack, Rodallega
Watford's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Gomes; Pudil, Angella, Ekstrand, Paredes; Tozser, Anya, Abdi; Ighalo, Deeney, Vydra
