Latest Fulham vs Watford team information
Fulham are facing a squad problem with Sander Berge having a slight chance of returning due to an ankle injury. Other cases such as Reiss Nelson (hamstring), Kenny Tete and Harrison Reed (both knee injuries) are all certain to be absent. Coach Silva may rotate the squad, while considering whether to continue using a three-man defence or revert to a four-man defence. Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon are the two candidates for the starting full-back position.
Emile Smith Rowe is likely to be named in the starting line-up in midfield after a string of substitute appearances recently, with Adama Traore and Rodrigo Muniz also vying for a starting spot in Fulham's attack.
For Watford, goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is out for three months with an ankle ligament injury sustained in the defeat to Sheffield United, leaving Jonathan Bond in goal. Tom Dele-Bashiru is recovering from a knee injury but remains uncertain. Imran Louza returned from illness and played the full 90 minutes in the last game, while Angelo Ogbonna played just over an hour after a lengthy spell out with a hamstring injury.
Jeremy Ngakia scored his first goal for Watford at the weekend and is likely to continue at left-back. Ryan Porteous, Moussa Sissoko, Tom Ince and Vakoun Issouf Bayo are all pushing for a return to the Watford starting line-up.

Latest Fulham vs Watford football review
Fulham are unbeaten in eight Premier League games, but have drawn six of them. Most recently, they drew 2-2 with Ipswich Town. Only Brighton have drawn more than Fulham in the English top flight this season. Raul Jimenez scored twice from the penalty spot to give Fulham two equalisers against Ipswich. Manager Marco Silva was unhappy with referee Darren Bond's handling of the game. Fulham are currently ninth in the table, just six points off the top four.
Fulham are aiming to reach the third round of the FA Cup for the sixth successive season when they take on Watford. They finished runners-up in 1975 and have often progressed in these rounds. Despite home advantage, Fulham have a poor record against Watford in their last six meetings (D3 L3). They have also conceded 14 goals in that time.
After a promising start, Watford have suffered a dip in form in the Championship, winning just one of their last five games. They lost 2-1 at home to Sheffield United and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games. Manager Tom Cleverley admitted his side are suffering from a "fragility" problem and need to make changes.
Watford will turn their attention to the FA Cup after recent defeats. Despite being runners-up twice in the competition (1984, 2019), they have won just one of their last five third-round games. But they have reasons to be optimistic, having won three of their last four meetings with Fulham and are unbeaten in their last three visits to Craven Cottage.
