Burnley

Burnley goalscorer Chris Wood on Sky Sports: 'It is important to get a win, we had to dig deep with a solid performance.

'Our defence has been top class, we kept the clean sheet and that’s what we built the result on.

On coming back from international duty: 'Strategically we knew it was not a gamble and we managed it with the team of our physiotherapists and in the end it paid off'.

Watford make three changes for today's game. Kiko Femenia is in for Daryl Janmaat while Adrian Mariappa replaces the suspended Christian Kabasele. Andre Gray joins Gerard Deulofeu up front in place of Roberto Pereyra.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Dawson, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Gray.

Subs: Gomes, Deeney, Masina, Chalobah, Sarr, Dele-Bashiru, Foulquier.

Unsurprisingly, Burnley boss Sean Dyche names the same team which won so comfortably against West Ham before the international break. Joint top scorer Chris Wood is fresh after missing New Zealand's match against Lithuania on an artificial pitch.

Burnley XI: Pope, Bardsley, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Barnes.

Subs: Hart, Lowton, Brady, Gibson, Rodriguez, Pieters, Lennon.

An agreement between Stoke and the Irish FA means O'Neill stays in charge until the play-off, which Northern Ireland guaranteed with Saturday's draw against the Netherlands.

"It's dead easy," said O'Neill.

"We're going to turn up on a Sunday and play on a Thursday. I can pick my squad now - I could name it tomorrow."

There has been speculation that O'Neill's ability to fulfil his Northern Ireland role in March could be in jeopardy if Stoke - now second from bottom in the Championship - remain in a relegation fight come the spring.

However, O'Neill was insistent after Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Dutch that he would be able to undertake both roles.

On his club career, Michael O'Neill might appear at strange choice for Stoke City, but it's his success in charge of Northern Ireland which has seen him linked with several clubs in England.

After his playing career, he was manager of Scottish club Brechin City and then Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland.

But in 2011, he was appointed manager of Northern Ireland and took the relative international minnows to the Euro 2016 finals before narrowly missing out on World Cup qualification.

The 50-year-old will face a tough task with Stoke City as, since relegation from the Premier League in 2018, the Potters have stumbled to 16th last season in the Championship and are currently bottom.

However, they have a number of well-known players such as internationals Jack Butland, Joe Allen and James McClean.
