Watford go into this afternoon's game against Brentford desperate for points, with the threat of relegation looming large.

Here's how we think Roy Hodgson could set his team up.

GK - Ben Foster

Unlikely that Hodgson will change goalkeepers between now and the end of the season.

RB: Kiko Femenia

Arguably the best option for the right back position.

CB: Christian Kabasele

Has looked alright since being brought back into the starting XI.

CB: Samir

Had a poor game against Leeds, but overall has been an improvement on what was on offer before.

LB: Hassane Kamara

Another who didn't have the best of matches last week, but is still a positive influence in the team.

CM: Imran Louza

Watford look less creative and cohesive without him.

CM: Juraj Kucka

At least provides effort and work rate. Helped create openings by winning set pieces last week.

CM: Moussa Sissoko

Will continue to be tasked with leading the team.

RW: Ismaila Sarr

Needs a big performance today after last week.

LW: Emmanuel Dennis

Could get a chance from the start with Cucho Hernandez out for the time being.

ST: Joao Pedro

Hodgson seems to prefer the Brazilian to Joshua King at the moment. Would expect him to play through the middle.
