Just to add that I'm seeing some support online for starting Gomez over TAA today. Even if Joe is healthy enough, I think making this change would send the wrong message to a very promising young player who has been mostly good for us this season. Maybe he wasn't stellar last weekend, but I think the right call is to keep him in the starting XI and continue his upward trend. He also provides much more going forward then Joe does and I suspect some good crossing will come in handy today if Watford defend in numbers.
A change at center back given the recurring problems for a veteran there, makes much more sense to me.
