Watford v Leeds United
Tuesday 11th February@19:45 | Vicarage Rd
Daniel Farke will want his Leeds side to put Saturday's disappointing performance out of their system when they travel to Vicarage Road on Tuesday night, to face a Watford side in dire need of a win! Prior to their impressive 2-2 draw the Stadium of Light over the weekend, they had lost seven of their last ten games, slipping down to tenth in the table
Leeds have beaten the Hornets in four out of five of their last meetings, but came up short in their last visit to Hertfordshire drawing 2-2. Under fire Hornets boss Tom Cleverley will be hoping his team have turned a corner or faces the ultimate punishment. Prior to Saturday's game. They are three points from a play-off place and twenty-four points shy of their midweek opponents.
With normal league service now resumed, Daniel Farke looks set to bring Meslier, Bogle, Firpo, Rodon, Tanaka, Solomon, James, Aaronson and Piroe back to the starting line-up. Fit again Pascal Struijk who played the full 90 minutes against Millwall looks set to retain his place in central defence, allowing Ethan Ampadu to return to midfield.
Tom Cleverley has a number of issues ahead of Tuesday. First-choice goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is recovering from ankle ligament surgery. Vakoun Bayo is suspended following his red card at Norwich earlier this month and playmaker Rocco Vata is struggling with a virus, and remains doubtful. Kwadwo Baah may himself need to go under the Surgeons knife for a troublesome thigh condition that has hampered his progress during 2025.
