The Hornets claimed a 3-1 win at Turf Moor back in August but it is a different Burnley team they will face now, with the Clarets winning their last three Premier League fixtures.
In contrast, Watford have won just one of their last four league outings although that win came in last week's trip to Crystal Palace when Javi Gracia's men came back from a goal down to win 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
Gracia admits he is "not optimistic" of having Will Hughes available this weekend, with the midfielder suffering concussion at Palace and the former Derby man has not been able to train this week. One player definitely missing is Sebastian Prodl as he is still recovering from a knee problem.
The hosts are boosted by the news both Andre Gray and Christian Kabasele should return to the matchday squad after having another full week of training under their belts.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche says he is hopeful Johann Berg Gudmundsson will be fit to return at Watford, having missed last week's win over Fulham due to a thigh injury. If the Icelandic international does go back straight back into the starting XI, Jeff Hendrick is expected to drop out.
Nick Pope, Steven Defour and Stephen Ward also come back into consideration after all three had a run-out for the Burnley Under-23s in midweek.
It was Burnley who did the league double over Watford last season, winning this fixture 2-1 thanks to second-half goals from Sam Vokes and Jack Cork.
