Gracia calls for big finish
Javi Gracia says his Watford players are determined to end the season well after the Hornets clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory against Leicester City.
Watford are eighth in the Premier League table with nine games of the campaign remaining while they also have an FA Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace to look forward to later this month.
Watford had taken the lead against the Foxes thanks to Troy Deeney's early goal only for Jamie Vardy to make it 1-1.
However, Andre Gray came off the bench to snatch a stoppage-time winner for Gracia's side, who bounced back well following their 5-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Gracia said: "We are coming in this moment from Liverpool and it was very tough for us. In my opinion, it was a good performance.
"We have a good balance in the team and the perfect atmosphere to play the rest of the season when there are nine games left, five of them will be at home, and we have the FA Cup quarter-finals.
"I think it is good for us to be in this position, but the feelings I can see in my players, all of them want more and more, they are ambitious. It is not easy after working a long time to keep that ambition and atmosphere we have at the moment."
Watford visit Manchester City on Saturday and can be backed at 13/2 to hold Pep Guardiola's team to a draw. Meanwhile, the Hornets are 3/4 to beat Crystal Palace and reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, a competition they are 12/1 to win this season.
