Younes Kaboul returns to the Watford lineup as they take on Sunderland this afternoon.

Younes Kaboul has returned to the Watford lineup as they take on Sunderland this afternoon.

Kaboul's return to the XI following a calf strain sees him take on his former side in one of four changes from Walter Mazzarri.

Troy Deeney, who found himself on the bench for the midweek defeat to Manchester City, also comes back into the XI, as do Juan Zuniga and Valon Behrami, who returns from illness.

Daryl Janmaat, Adlene Guedioura, Jerome Sinclair and Roberto Pereyra - who faces a spell out after picking up a knee injury against City - are the men to be replaced.

Meanwhile, David Moyes makes three changes to the Black Cats side that were beaten by Chelsea on Wednesday.

Didier Ndong takes his place in midfield at the expense of Billy Jones as he returns from suspension, fit-again Victor Anichebe ousts Jan Kirchhoff further forward and Donald Love comes into the defence as John O'Shea falls to the bench.

Sunderland: Pickford; Love, Van Aanholt, Djilobodji, Denayer; Kone, Ndong Januzaj; Borini, Anichebe, Defoe
Subs: Mannone, Larsson, Asoro, O'Shea, Khazri, E.Robson, Honeyman

Watford: Gomes; Kaboul, Prodl, Britos, Holebas; Amrabat, Behrami, Capoue, Zuniga; Deeney, Ighalo
Subs: Pantilimon, Success, Cathcart, Guedioura, Sinclair, Janmaat Kabasele
