Back from illness Cathcart has recovered from illness and will be available for Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace.

Impact Cathcart was one of Watford's few positives here, racking up a lot of clearances despite his side being completely outperformed.

Up next for Cathcart is Sunday's visit to Southampton.

Busy defensively Cathcart made seven clearances and two tackles during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Brighton.

Impact Cathcart had some defensive volume, but it still wasn't enough for anything more than a poor fantasy day. With clean sheets few and far between for Watford, there are simply stronger fantasy options. Cathcart is best avoided next time out against Aston Villa.

Starting against Burnley Cathcart (illness) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Burnley.

Impact Cathcart returns as expected Saturday after missing the match before the break because of an illness. No matter the manager, he's been a preferred option on the back line this season, though he doesn't have a clean sheet in 18 starts.

Impact Cathcart has logged 31 clearances in seven starts this season but has yet to keep a clean sheet. Even with this assist, his all-around production hasn't been steady enough to make him more than a mid-tier asset at best. Up next will be a visit from Southampton, which have scored just eight goals in nine games.

Featuring over break Cathcart has featured for Northern Ireland over the break, returning from a prior ankle issue.

Impact Cathcart left in Watford's last match with an apparent ankle injury, but it clearly wasn't bad enough to hold him out for international duty. Assuming he's fit and healthy after the break, he should remain in the XI at right-back unless Xisco Munoz decides to change things up.
