Match Preview
One out one doubt for Hornets Watford will be without Adrian Mariappa for the visit of Ipswich but are very hopeful John Eustace will return. Influential defender Mariappa missed Tuesday's 2-0 win at Bristol City due to an ankle injury which is expected to keep him out for up to a fortnight, with fit-again Martin Taylor set to continue in his absence. Midfielder Eustace, meanwhile, sat out with a back problem but is winning his battle to return to the fold against an Ipswich side who have lost just one of their last 10 matches. Ross Jenkins has suffered a recurrence of his groin problem and has been ruled out, although the midfielder has not featured for the Hornets since late January. Winger Alex Kacaniklic shrugged off a leg complaint to start at Ashton Gate as has suffered no ill-effects. Grant Leadbitter will miss out through suspension. The in-form midfielder was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence late on in Wednesday's narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley and will now serve a one-match ban at Vicarage Road. Leadbitter's absence could mean a possible recall for Andy Drury, who dropped to the bench in midweek as Lee Bowyer came in for what was manager Paul Jewell's only change to his starting XI. Jewell, who is expected to otherwise boast a full-strength squad, does have plenty of options however. Ryan Stevenson still awaits his first start for Town since his January move, Josh Carson was back among the substitutes against Burnley while Jimmy Bullard continues to get more training under his belt following his return from a two-week club suspension.
