We switch our attention to the Carabao Cup (CC) this Wednesday when we host fellow top tier side Watford. We last won what was then known as the League Cup back in the 2007/08 season and made it to the round of 16 last season, losing to London rivals West Ham. After defeat in our first taste of cup football in the Champions League this season, we will enter the 3rd Round with high aspirations.
We face a Watford side that has started the season well under Javi Gracia and we have already been beaten 2-1 in the league by them. The Spaniard's side dispatched Championship side Reading 2-0 away from home in the previous round.
It has been a rough start for our campaign, however in recent weeks we have been seen back on form, contributing to a solid start to the EPL season. We sit 5th behind rivals Liverpool, City and Chelsea, having won four of our six matches so far. Our two defeats came in the form of a 2-1 loss away to Watford and 2-1 loss at home to Liverpool. However in our last match we beat Brighton 2-1 at the Amex.
This match will give both sides the opportunity to give some fringe players the chance to earn some first team minutes. Poch is likely to rest a host of our current first team regulars in the hope of keeping them fresh as possible to avoid unnecessary knocks. For example Argentinian Juan Foyth is in line for his first start of the season. The 20 year old has found his opportunities limited but the CC could prove to be beneficial. The likes of Dele and Sissoko could be in line for starts as they look to regain match fitness after injury, with Son likely to start up front. Paulo Gazzaniga could be in line for playing with alongside fellow Argentine Foyth for the first time, and also youngsters Winks, Amos and Nkoudou. This line up is of course an educated guess.
