Watford have made three changes as look to get their play-off push back on track with three points against fellow challengers Hull City.

Adrian Mariappa is back following suspension, Lloyd Doyley returns after injury and Will Buckley is back in the starting XI following illness last week.

Dale Bennett, Adam Thompson and Matty Whichelow are the trio who make way.

Hull and Watford are only separated by goal difference on 56 points and are seven points off sixth-place Reading.

The Tigers have an exceptional away record as Nigel Pearson’s men have not lost on the road since September and are difficult to break down away from the KC Stadium, with their last three victories being 1-0 wins.

City have made one change with Liam Rosenior coming in for Jamie Devitt.

Watford: Loach; Hodson, Mariappa, Taylor, Doyley; Eustace, Jenkins, Cowie, Buckley; Graham, Weimann.

Subs: Gilmartin, Thompson, Drinkwater, Deeney, Mingoia, Whichelow, Sordell.

Hull: Guzan; Chester, Hobbs, Gerrard, Dawson; Rosenior, Harper, Evans, Koren; Fryatt, Mclean.

Subs: Duke, Garcia, Cairney, Devitt, Simpson, Amoo, Belaid.
