Watford’s attempt to have Marvin Zeegelaar’s sending off at Burnley overturned has failed.
The Hornets challenged Lee Probert’s decision to dismiss the defender for a two-footed challenge on Steven Defour in the 39th minute of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat.
But Watford have confirmed the appeal has been unsuccessful, meaning as well as tonight’s trip to Crystal Palace, Zeegelaar will also be suspended for Saturday’s home clash with Huddersfield Town and the away fixture at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, December 23.
