Slaven Bilic looks all set to name the same team as played against West Brom last weekend unless Andy Carroll comes through a fitness test.

The striker is undergoing the test right now as he bids to gain a place in the squad for tonight’s game at Vicarage Road with the odds will believed to be fifty fifty.

Arthur Masuaku is also fully fit and will be included in today’s squad and Andre Ayew is also expected to be on the bench along with Sam Byram.

That means Cheik Kouyate is set to remain at right back despite the former Leeds man being fully fit.

With Kouyate again in the back four, Slav looks set to have decided that skipper Mark Noble will remain as Pedro Obiang’s midfield partner.

The likely team – should Carroll fail – his fitness test therefore will be: Randolph; Kouyate, Fonte, Reid, Cresswell; Feghouli, Noble, Obiang, Snodgrass; Antonio, Lanzini.

Should AC make it then Antonio will play through the middle with him or wide with Feghouli dropping to the bench.
