Watford, however, will be without Heidar Helguson, a player under Notts boss’ Iceland regime, as the striker completed his £1.1m move to Premiership Fulham.
The front-man, 27, was capped 34 times by his native Iceland.
The Magpies will come up against one familiar face, however, in the form of Paul Devlin. The former Birmingham midfielder – who made 137 league appearances in two spells for the Magpies – is currently contracted to the Hornets and is likely to come up against his former employers when the sides meet.
The player enjoyed separate spells at Meadow Lane between 1992-1996 before rejoining on loan between October and December 1998.
Although no date has been confirmed, it is understood that the tie is most likely to be played on Tuesday 23rd August.
