"WATFORD ARE THE NEW LEICESTER"


Watford manager Javi Gracia compares his current side to the Leicester City side who extraordinarily won the league back in 2016...


Leicester's league win under Claudio Ranieri was undoubtedly the biggest surprise in Prmier League history.


Watford have started this season excellently with four wins out of four - including last week's brilliant comeback against Spurs.


Gracia has been hailed by many for this start to the season and has even been named Manager of the Month for August.


"We have started so well in the Premier League that we can be considered the new Leicester," Gracia said.


"I am not scared of the comparison between Leicester and Watford. I am always going to live with the same naturalness after winning four games in a row after losing four.


"It is possible to lead the table after four games although it will be a lot more different after 25.


"Even if we played in Spain, it would be difficult. We have to enjoy and savour this moment because we have worked for it and earned it.


"I am very excited with the atmosphere we have now within the club, the team and the supporters. It is great.


"Watford is a team that finally secured and cemented a place in the Premier League. Before it was going up and down the whole time: now it is here to stay."
