Troy Deeney scored both of the visitors’ goals at Selhurst Park and Hornets boss Quique Flores has called on Roy Hodgson to give Deeney an England call-up, although with fellow Englishman Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane impressing so often this term it is hard to imagine Deeney being part of the Three Lions’ Euro 2016 squad.
Watford are unsurprisingly odds-on favourites to oblige on Saturday – odds of 4-6 are the best on offer – with Leeds available at 5s.

“We can’t be as attack-minded and leave ourselves open but, at the same time, I want us to go there and be competitive and win the game”.
Steve Evans admits his Leeds side have it all to do to contain Premier League surprise package Watford – and Troy Deeney in particular.
“The league is our main priority, of course, but now we are able to change the mentality when we are going to play in the FA Cup”.
‘He’s earned that right.
Watford’s manager Sanchez Flores has shown interest in the Nigerian starlet Isaac Success, and has tipped the U20 striker to excel in the English Premier League.
“I think players and staff have a job to do”.
“So what they are trying to do is cut even less revenue for the teams below them, I just don’t see that as fair”.

“For us, they have a good team, they play with power, they try to play football, they have three players in the middle who want to play well so we have to think about how we play this game”.
