Watford entertain basement boys Crewe Alexandra at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Watford Team News:

Watford supremo Adrian Boothroyd has the luxury of a virtually fully-fit to select from for the visit of Crewe Alexandra. Midfielder Dom Blizzard, who has recently returned to training after a long lay-off, is the only exception.

Ashley Young, who returnsfrom suspension after being red-carded in the local derby triumph over Luton Town, is back in contention for a starting berth. This however, presents Adrian Boothroyd with a selection headache as on-loan Chris Eagles is in fine fettle on the right-hand side of midfield and Darius Henderson is forming a lethal partnership with Marlon King in attack.

Player to watch: Darius Henderson

Crewe Team News:

Crewe are likely to welcome back defender Anthony Tonkin, who has been out with an illness. Dario Gradi will give midfielder Lee Bell a late fitness test after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Player to watch: Steve Jones
