Marco Cassetti returns from suspension for Watford's home clash against Blackburn in the Championship.
The defender missed Tuesday's disappointing 1-0 defeat at Millwall due to a one-match ban following his red card in last weekend's 3-2 loss at Peterborough.
Otherwise, manager Gianfranco Zola boasts the same squad as the one turned over at The Den.
Fit-again midfielder John Eustace is still lacking match fitness after his long-term back injury, while defenders Fitz Hall (hamstring), Nyron Nosworthy (Achilles), Neuton (dislocated shoulder) and Tommie Hoban (ankle) all remain sidelined.
The third-placed Hornets could see their lingering hopes of an automatic promotion place all but mathematically extinguished should Hull, six points better off with three games remaining, beat already-relegated Bristol City at the KC Stadium on Friday night.
Blackburn caretaker manager Gary Bowyer could have David Bentley and Bradley Orr back at his disposal.
On-loan Tottenham midfielder Bentley has been troubled in recent weeks by a knee problem sustained during the FA Cup quarter-final draw at Millwall, since when right-back Orr has not played due to a rib injury.
Both men have stepped up their recoveries over recent weeks, but the game comes too soon for Martin Olsson (ankle).
Grant Hanley and Colin Kazim-Richards complete two-match suspensions having collected 10 yellow cards and Gael Givet is set to continue at centre-back after impressing in place of the former during Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Huddersfield.
Goalkeepers Jake Kean (knee) and Paul Robinson (back/lung) head up a list of long-term absentees that includes Adam Henley (hamstring), Dickson Etuhu (knee) and DJ Campbell (foot).
