Michael Chopra starts only his third game under Mick McCarthy against his former loan club Watford at Portman Road this evening. The 29-year-old came off the bench to score the winner in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Blackpool.

Daryl Murphy drops to the bench with Lee Martin coming back into the side at left midfield after his hamstring injury. Another ex-Hornet Scott Loach returns to the squad but is on the bench with Stephen Henderson keeping his place in goal.

Watford boss Gianfranco Zola makes three changes with Joel Ekstrand, Jonathan Hogg and Fernando Forestieri coming into the side for Daniel Pudil, who is ill, Christian Battocchio and Matej Vydra. Full match preview here.
