Watford boss Tom Cleverley believes Hull City's players will have extra motivation when the two clubs meet in the Championship on Wednesday night.
City will have new head coach Ruben Selles in charge for the first time after he replaced Tim Walter last week.
"I believe in the new manager bounce - it's something which happens in football and in life I suppose when you're trying to impress somebody new, it can certainly get an extra 10% out of the players," Cleverley told his pre-match press conference.
"When I got the job here our results got better and that's not patting me on the back - it's a thing in football and it's our job to put a lid on that on Wednesday evening.
