Watford will check on Heidar Helguson and John Eustace ahead of the trip to Ipswich.

Iceland striker Helguson has been receiving intensive treatment on the calf injury he suffered on his second Hornets debut against Leicester last month and Saturday's win at Middlesbrough came just too soon for him.

Midfielder Eustace also missed out at the Riverside Stadium after going down with a sickness bug.

Skipper Jay DeMerit is ruled out again after undergoing surgery on his eye injury over the weekend. The USA defender hopes to be back within a couple of months.

Second-choice goalkeeper Richard Lee will be checked over having missed out on Saturday after jarring his knee in training, meaning 16-year-old Jonathan Bond was named on the bench.
