FLW's George Harbey will be live at the City Ground this evening as Nottingham Forest prepare to take on Watford in the Sky Bet Championship.

It has been a very contrasting start to the season for these two sides, with Forest continuing to languish towards the bottom of the Championship table.

Chris Hughton's side are currently embarking on a run of three successive league defeats, and sit 21st in the league standings following a 1-0 home defeat to Swansea City on Sunday afternoon.

Watford, meanwhile, have made an impressive start to life back in the second tier, and could potentially go top of the league with a win on Trentside tonight.

The Hornets come into this clash sitting fifth in the Championship table, having defeated Preston by four goals to one at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.

Watford have been boosted with the news that Adam Masina, Tom Cleverley and Will Hughes are all back in training, however it remains to be seen whether any of the trio will have a part to play at the City Ground later this evening.

After scoring in what his first start of the season on Saturday, Troy Deeney will be hoping to keep his place in the side, with Joao Pedro likely to come in and partner him in Andre Gray's absence.

From a Forest perspective, Jack Colback, who has captained the side in the absence of Lewis Grabban in recent weeks, is unavailable after picking up a knock on Sunday.

Joe Worrall, Tyler Blackett, Samba Sow, Michael Dawson and Grabban are all back in training, but are all doubtful for this evening, as are Gaetan Bong and Luke Freeman.

Watford come into this one as clear favourites. Vladmir Ivic's side have put teams to the sword on more than one occasion this term, scoring 19 goals in the Championship compared to Forest's nine goals.

The Hornets have also conceded 11 times, with Forest shipping 17 goals and keeping only two clean sheets thus far this season. Watford have had more of the ball than their opponents this season, too, accruing an average possession rate of 52.3% compared to Forest's 51.3%.

Lyle Taylor will be looking to get back on the scoresheet tonight and look to add to his tally of four goals this season, with Joao Pedro also looking to do the same for the visitors, having netted five times this term.
