Walter Mazzarri hopes his Watford players will benefit from their extra time together at a cold London Colney, rather than than jetting off for some warm weather training, as they prepare to get back to Premier League action against West Ham United.
The Hornets have not played since losing 2-0 at Manchester United on February 11.
While West Ham boss Slaven Bilic believes their short trip to Dubai will help his players reap the benefits of a spot of team bonding, Mazzarri is also confident being able to work through issues in more familiar, if less warm, surroundings can only prove positive as Watford seek what would be a third win in the last four Premier League games.
