Roy Hodgson believes his side will come up against a confident Watford side, following their stand-out 3-0 result against runaway league leaders Liverpool last week.
Indeed, Hodgson's men will also go into the game full of belief following two back-to-back 1-0 wins over Newcastle United and arch rivals Brighton & Hove Albion. He said during the pre-match press conference: "Both teams will go into the game with a degree of confidence, a degree of good feeling about themselves. It’s a bit of a derby, matches with Watford are always hard-fought. Our supporters are in for an interesting, and good encounter.
