Is Brentford vs Watford on TV tonight? Kick-off-time, channel and how to watch

Everything you need to know ahead of this evening’s match

Brentford host Watford in the Premier League this evening as both sides contend with a raft of injuries.

As well as a series of longer-term absentees, Brentford will be without both Ivan Toney and Sergi Canos tonight. It was the latter who put the Bees on the brink of victory against Leeds last time out, only for Patrick Bamford to score a last-gasp equaliser.

A draw meant Brentford are still seven points clear of the relegation zone, having recovered from a sharp downturn in form leading up to the international break.

Meanwhile, Watford are without talisman Ismaila Sarr, along with a host of other first-team players, and come into the fixture off the back of three successive defeats, albeit against Leicester, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Emmanuel Dennis has been in inspired form since joining the Hornets this summer but a tough first half of the season has left the club poised precariously in 17th. Here is everything you need to know:
