Burnley will look to bounce back from their 5-0 defeat at Manchester City with a win that could take them into the top half.
A victory for 16th-placed Watford would put more distance between themselves and the bottom three.
Team news
Sean Dyche will again be without Chris Wood (Achilles), Johann Berg Gudmundsson (calf), Ashley Barnes and Robbie Brady (both groin).
Watford full-backs Adam Masina (cramp) and Kiko Femenia (hamstring) will be assessed, although both players trained this week.
