Watford v Newcastle Utd - Team News

Last updated : 11 May 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Carlisle missed last weekend's 2-0 win at Reading due to suspension, but he has completed the one-match ban and is expected to replace young Frenchman Cedric Avinel in central defence.

On-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster plays his final game for the club, and Adrian Mariappa could come in for Lloyd Doyley in defence, with
Tamas Priskin preferred to Darius Henderson in attack.

The Hornets are without defender Jay DeMerit, who is on approved absence,
and forward Hameur Bouazza, who has been granted compassionate leave, while

Damien Francis, Gareth Williams and Moses Ashikodi remain sidelined with
injury.
WATFORD (from): Foster, Lee, Doyley, Avinel, Shittu, Powell, Carlisle, Stewart, Mariappa, Smith, Rinaldi, Bangura, Williamson, Mahon, Chambers, King, Henderson, Priskin, Kabba.

GETTING THERE
I have in the past parked in the centre of town and walked down to the ground. As the stadium is central it is difficult to miss, with the floodlights being clearly visible for some distance. Leave the M1 at Junction 5 and take the A4008 into Watford. If on nearing the town centre you can't see it on your left, just go around the inner ring road and you will soon spot it. There are also some private match day car parks available at some industrial units near the ground.
