Vicarage Road will play host to the second-round tie, with Vieira admitting a strong side will be on show against their Premier League rivals.
Talking to the media, relayed by London News Online, the Frenchman was quizzed on his team selection plans against the Hornets.
“So the next one is on Tuesday, and we will put a strong team out to compete because it’s important for us to build momentum. It is important for us to build our confidence. It is important for us to win football matches to win games. So our objective is to win the next one.”
Vieira continued:
“I will use this cup game to build on the confidence, and if on Monday morning, if every player is available, it will be for me to put the strongest team out because we want to compete in this competition.”
