Gracia ponders Hornets approach
Watford head coach Javi Gracia is weighing up his attacking options, as he plots a way of trying to upset Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Troy Deeney and Andre Gray were on the scoresheet last weekend as the Hornets claimed a 2-1 win at home to Leicester City to make it three wins in their last four league games.
The most important thing for us is in the moments the different players have, they take advantage and show what they are able to do.

However, Gray came on as a substitute for Gerard Deulofeu, who recently scored a hat-trick in the 5-1 victory at Cardiff City, with Gracia pondering who should get the nod against the Citizens.
The Spaniard commented: "I don't like to speak about what we are going to do but (Deeney and Gray) is a very good option for us.
"They started playing together at the beginning of the season and we were getting very good results.
"But in other games we have played with other players, like Gerard Deulofeu for example, and playing against Cardiff we scored five goals and Gerard scored a hat-trick, so all of them are important.
"The most important thing for us is in the moments the different players have, they take advantage and show what they are able to do."
Earlier this season the Citizens - who have won the last nine meetings of the two sides - secured a 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road, with Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez their goalscorers, while Abdoulaye Doucoure netted a late reply for the hosts.
City are1/6 to win the game on Saturday and are 7/1 to do so by a 2-0 scoreline, with Sergio Aguero priced at 1/2 to score at any time in the game.
