In the last match against West Brom, Ismaila Sarr scored one of the goals of the season contender for Watford, by hitting the back of the net from inside his own half. He will be the main threat to the visitors. They, however, will have to make do without the services of the injured Imran Louza. On the other hand, Burnley also have a few injuries to deal with. Ashley Westwood and Johann Berg Gudmundsson will not be a part of the upcoming match. Goalscoring has been a problem for both sides, having managed just two goals so far in the Championship – something they would hope to rectify on Friday night.
