Players back for Addicks, skipper fit for Hornets
Lee Cook could start his first game for Charlton Athletic against Watford, who welcome back captain Jay DeMerit.
On-loan winger Cook featured as a substitute against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek after a hip injury and is now hoping to start.
Jerome Thomas could also be fit to face the leaders after a hamstring problem and Madjid Bougherra may also return after a foot injury, so Jonathan Fortune could drop to the bench.
Sam Sodje is also in contention after a hand injury, but Ben Thatcher (knee) is not match fit, and Svetoslav Todorov (cruciate), Cory Gibbs (foot) and Chris Dickson (knee) are long-term absentees.
Watford news
Adrian Boothroyd is likely to bring skipper DeMerit back into his side after a groin injury.
DeMerit's availability after injury could lead to the American centre-half replacing Danny Shittu in defence, while Jordan Stewart is 50/50 with an ankle injury.
Boothroyd will be without Collins John, who is still a week away from match fitness, and Damien Francis, who has a swollen knee.
Tommy Smith should be fit after shaking off an ankle knock and John-Joe O'Toole is available after his red card against Leicester in midweek was overturned.
