COVENTRY CITY striker Lee Mills, who missed last week's victory over Norwich City with a hamstring strain, is expected to start at Vicarage Road against Watford on Saturday, March 16.

Still not popular with fans, his manager sticks by him because of his defensive qualities from set pieces. However, Julian Joachim is out with a bruised shin.

The likely City line-up is: Hedman; Quinn, Konjic, Breen, Shaw; Chippo, Safri, Healy, Thompson; Hughes, Mills. Substitutes: Flowers, Bothroyd, Zuniga, Betts, Fowler or Guerrero.
