What the managers are saying:

Javi Gracia (Watford):“As a coach you always depend on the results, but at this moment I can say I am proud to be part of this project, not only for one year, but for a long time.“It is good for me, I feel happy here, my technical staff as well. We try with our job to help improve the team.“This stability is good for the players. Now we need to keep working hard because it is the only way we can keep this good moment going.”Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool): “Watford are really good. Good football, lively, well organised in a 4-4-2 mostly.“Deeney will be back I think. Mitrovic did really well for Fulham with a similar job two weeks ago. Quick wingers, very good centre midfielders.“This is for sure the best Watford team since I am in. And with a really good coach.”Javi Gracia lost 5-0 in his first encounter with Klopp’s Liverpool3
