Watford manager Marco Silva set to name strong side to face Bristol City in the Carabao Cup second round

Watford boss Marco Silva will not take Bristol City lightly in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Silva admits he will check on the fitness of some of his key players ahead of the midweek Vicarage Road visit of the Championship Robins.
