Garry Monk has a few decisions to make after some solid performances in midweek from a much-changed line-up that beat Rochdale in the Carabao Cup and to help him along, Alex Miller has given us the side he would pick to take the sting out of the Hornets.

1. GK - Cameron Dawson
Joe Wildsmith delivered a solid if relatively untroubled performance in Tuesday's cup win over Rochdale, but it would be a shock if Monk was to dispose of Cam Dawson in the league goalkeeping berth after two confident displays in clean sheet performances. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. CB - Joost Van Aken
Deserves a run at showing what he can do under his new manager. There appears to be a great deal of goodwill at the minute towards van Aken, who was one of the stars of that impressive display at Cardiff last week. There's half a shout for Julian Borner's return, but after 90 minutes in midweek it should be the Dutchman's place to lose once more. Photo: Steve Ellis
3. CB - Tom Lees
Excellent in both outings thus far, Lees has been the bedrock of this clean sheet run so far, organising the back three throughout. Seems to be liberated a touch without the armband - or perhaps he has a point to prove? A shoo-in. Photo: Steve Ellis
4. CB - Dominic Iorfa
His pace and recovery ability will be important, you feel, against a talented and tricky Watford attack. Again, one of the first names on the team sheet - you can hardly change the back three that shut Cardiff out, can you? It wouldn't really be Monk's style. Photo: Steve Ellis
