NEIL WARNOCK: " Kenneth Zohore "
“He’s training, he was involved yesterday, he’s had a week with Lee (Southernwood) doing his fitness and he joined in with us with some ball work and then did extra physical stuff.
“It’s down to him, he knows what I think about him and you never know, we could see the new Ken Zohore.
“I’m not sure (if he’s available for selection) as he hasn’t had any game time. He’s running about so it’s whether I think he could do half an hour. I honestly don’t know.”

About WatfordWatford Football Club is a professional football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, that plays in the Premier League, the highest level in the English football league system. Founded in 1898 by the amalgamation of West Herts and Watford St. Mary's. After finishing the 1914–15 season as Southern League champions under the management of Harry Kent, Watford joined the Football League in 1920. The club played at several grounds in its early history, before moving to a permanent location at Vicarage Road in 1922, where it remains. Watford spent most of the following half century in the lower divisions of The Football League, changing colours and crest on multiple occasions.
England manager Graham Taylor's tenure at the club saw Watford scale new heights. Between Taylor's appointment in 1977 and departure in 1987, Watford rose from the Fourth Division to the First Division. The team finished second in the First Division in the 1982–83 season, competed in the UEFA Cup in 1983–84, and also reached the 1984 FA Cup Final. Watford experienced a decade of decline between 1987 and 1997, before Taylor returned as full-time manager, leading the team to successive promotions from the renamed Second Division to the Premier League for one season in 1999–2000. The club experienced a further one season stint in the top division of English football during the 2006–07 season, under Aidy Boothroyd's management; eight years in the Championship followed. Watford secured promotion in 2014–15, and have competed in the Premier League since the 2015–16 season finishing 13th, 17th and 14th respectively.
Watford is owned by the Pozzo family, which also owns Udinese Calcio in Italy and previously Granada CF in Spain. Sir Elton John, who owned Watford during both of Graham Taylor's successful periods as manager, served alongside Taylor as the club's joint Honorary Life President until 2008, only to later resume the role he shared alongside Graham Taylor until Taylor's death.
Previous MeetingOur last match against Watford was a Championship fixture in December 2014, at Cardiff City Stadium. Watford won 4-2 thanks to a goal each for Odion Ighalo and Gabriele Angella - and two goals for Adiene Guedioura. Adam Le Fondre and Kenwyne Jones got our goals.
