Leeds United will be hoping to continue their brilliant form in the Championship, despite the FA Cup defeat to Millwall.
Fans will have been frustrated with Daniel Farke for making 10 changes in Leeds’ 2-0 defeat to Millwall, but it could turn out to be a silver lining.
There will be fewer games now for the Whites as full focus can be put into the Championship.
Watford will be the starting point as Farke confirmed Joe Rodon and Dan James are available.
However, the main reason for Leeds’ win against Watford in October won’t be available.
Watford without player who made ‘freak errors’ against Leeds United
Leeds triumphed over Watford in October at Elland Road winning 2-1.
Unfortunately for a certain Watford player, it was a night to forget, as Daniel Bachmann made two costly errors for the Hornets.
Goals from Largie Ramazani and Brendan Aaronson left the goalkeeper with egg on his face, as the Austrian shot-stopper is injured for Tuesday night’s clash.
Tom Cleverley gave the 30-year-old sympathy after he fumbled Ramazani’s finish and gave Aaronson an easy goal.
“Nothing to do with his fitness those ones, just two freak mistakes you don’t normally see from Dan,” Cleverley said after the game.
“He’s one of the best shotstoppers in the league, he’s won us a lot more points than he’s lost us but he didn’t have his best evening.
“You worry a little bit on the side, it’s a big character test for my team. We handled it excellently, we didn’t let Dan’s mistakes cloud how we wanted to play.”

Bachmann made bizarre claim about Leeds fans in Watford game
In a night of positives for Leeds against Watford, James was devastated by Mateo Joseph’s miss, which will have affected the young striker in October.
Unfortunately for the Spaniard, it hasn’t exactly got better, as Farke admitted Joseph failed against Millwall.
The young striker will be hoping to put things right for Leeds on Tuesday if given the chance, but he won’t have the opportunity against Bachmann due to his injury.
Despite his poor night, the Watford keeper still dared to take a dig at the Whites fans as Bachmann said the Watford fans bettered Leeds’.
An extremely bold claim, as luckily for Bachmann he won’t have to face the Whites faithful as it wouldn’t be very welcoming to say the least.
