Bruce has picked what is possibly his strongest side with Almiron, Saint-Maximin, and Jamaal Lascelles returning to the team. He’s also kept Jonjo Shelvey in midfield and partnered him with Fabian Schar.
Dwight Gayle returns to lead the attack while Matt Ritchie keeps his place with Valentino Lazaro dropping back to the bench.
Here is the team Nigel Pearson will send out for the hosts.
? TEAM NEWS ?
We're unchanged from Tuesday night's victory.

Newcastle need to make amends for Wednesday’s thrashing. We also need a result to keep the chances of a top ten finish from slipping away. Today at Vicarage Road is the perfect opportunity to get back on track.
Howay The Lads!

Comment #201We’ve looked good at times there but not capitalised as well as we could’ve and let them in a bit too easy a couple of times.
Lascelles will have to be careful now, can’t afford to get caught in that kind of position again where he has to take a yellow.
I think we can get a couple more goals second half and nice to see us going for more rather than sitting back now we have a goal.
Insh'Allah

Comment #208The Watford players are throwing themselves to the ground as soon as they get in the box. Time the ref starts booking them
