Watford come up against a robust Swansea City team tomorrow at Vicarage Road, for the fifth game of the Premier League season.
The Swans are coming into this game, on the back of defeating Manchester United at home, and are undefeated this season.
The Hornets on the other hand, are yet to pick up a Premier League win, after losing to another Manchester team in Man City in their last game.
Along with failing to pick up a win this season, the Hornets are hoping to finally get their names on the score sheet for the first time since the opening day away to Everton.
Quotes From The Bosses
Watford boss Quique Flores speaking to the club’s media team: ‘Swansea are a good team. We have been analysing them during the last week and they play good, they have a good balance in defence, and they manage their transitions”
The Spaniard added, ‘They are a tough team, of course, but we will always do our best and we know that we have the possibility to win this match.’
Swansea boss Garry Monk speaking to the club’s official site: ‘They (Watford) won’t fear us but we need to show what we’re about”, the former Swans player said, ‘We will look to impose ourselves, we can stand up to the physical aspect of the game and we’ve shown we’re a good team.”
‘But Watford are highly organised and they have a clear way of working. They have brought in a lot of players but they seem to have gelled quickly, which is great credit to the manager.
‘They are playing with belief and I’m sure they will identify their home games as ones they can win. It will be a good atmosphere, they will try and make it difficult for us but if we can show the same focus and attitude that we have done so far then hopefully we can come away with the result we want.’

Player to watch: Troy Deeney
Troy Deeney has had a lot of time to prepare himself for this fixture, what with him being vacant during international break, and has no doubt has time to adapt to Flores’ system.

Garry Monk will no doubt be boosted by the fact that Jefferson Montero has returned to the side, after the winger missed out the Swans’ victory over Manchester United before the international break.
Player to watch: Andre Ayew
Andre Ayew has been very impressive for Swansea, since arrving in the summer on a free transfer from Marseille, and was awarded the Premier League player of the month for August, after scoring three in four.
