Watford v Millwall

Last updated : 25 March 2006 By Gary Calder

Watford are expected to be at full strength after coming through a physical encounter with Southampton on Monday evening.

Darius Henderson picked up a facial injury during the first half at St Mary's, but that did not prevent the ex-Gillingham man bagging a brace in a 3-1 victory and it is hoped that the medical team will have worked on it during the week for him to take his place in the starting line-up tomorrow.

Marlon King also came through the 90 minutes at Southampton following his recent hamstring problems so should be available, and once again Jay DeMerit is expected to gain the nod over the unlucky Clarke Carlisle in the heart of the defence.

Struggling Millwall will be buoyed by the return of fit again striker, Barry Hayles who is set to make his first start in over five months following a knee compliant and fellow front man, Carl Asaba who is available following an illness.

One certain absentee though is Tony Craig, the left back sitting out the second of a two match ban collected for a sending off at Ipswich Town earlier this month.

Jamie Vincent, who replaced Craig in last week's home loss to Leicester City, is expected to retain his place.

Long term absentees, Jody Morris and Josh Simpson are unlikely to feature at Vicarage Road although they have returned to light training this week.
