The 47-year old has a host of injury problems to deal with at Vicarage Road but will be hopeful of carving out a result against the Saints. "I try to keep calm in games but if you want the players to have a good performance than I need to keep a good attitude - it is important to send a message with motivation and confidence". "I tell you again, there are other people working on these situations and I focus on my job".

New Watford head coach Javi Gracia admits he is in the dark over the future of Hornets captain Troy Deeney.

"I don't know what happens with players' situations", he said. Maybe others go in.

"I think Watford is a nice place and Watford is really good club and I really feel very comfortable". Coaches' lives many times depend on many things, results, but I like it a lot. I don't know. I signed my contract and my contract says I am the coach.

Gracia's first game at the helm comes in the FA Cup with a trip to St Mary's before a Premier League dugout debut at strugglers Stoke. "That is all I can say".
