'I just want to put it out there, there was no fight at half-time': Troy Deeney rejects talk of Watford bust up after West Ham first half drubbing and Hornets captain insists he will not be involved in team selection for the remainder of the season

Watford captain Troy Deeney has rejected talk he will be involved in team selection for Tuesday's game with Manchester City and refuted reports there was a fight during half-time of Friday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham.

Hayden Mullins has been appointed interim boss at Vicarage Road after Nigel Pearson left the role of head coach on Sunday, with the club 17th in the Premier League and three points above the relegation zone.

While Mullins and head of goalkeeping Graham Stack will take charge of the Hornets against City, the captain will be focused purely on matters on the pitch.
