Watford manager Javi Gracia does not fear Arsenal backlash over captain Troy Deeney's 'cojones' comment

Watford manager Javi Gracia does not expect Troy Deeney's 'cojones' comment to have a negative impact on his side's Premier League visit to Arsenal on Sunday.

Deeney suggested the Gunners lacked courage after the Hornets came from behind to beat them in October's reverse fixture at Vicarage Road, saying: 'There's a reason why they lost and it wasn't because of one penalty. It's (about having) a bit of cojones, a bit of nuts.'

Arsene Wenger has said that his Arsenal side will show Watford exactly what they are about on the pitch, but Gracia is not worried by the Frenchman's rallying cry.
