Javi Gracia is confident his trio of new signings will help Watford avoid relegation from the Premier League

Javi Gracia is confident Watford's new signings will help steer his under-performing side to Premier League safety.

The Hornets have managed just one win from their last 12 Premier League matches and, despite sitting 11th in the table, are just four points above the relegation places.

Watford completed loan deals for Barcelona forward Gerard Deulofeu - who played 88 minutes against Stoke on Wednesday - and Sunderland's Didier Ndong in the closing days of the window. Dodi Lukebakio also arrived at Vicarage Road after he completed a permanent switch from Anderlecht.

The Hornets host Chelsea on Monday night, and Gracia, who will be making only his third outing as the club's new manager, believes the trio of new signings will add much-needed depth to his squad.
