Watford defender Adrian Mariappa has warned teammates they're not yet safe after defeat to Burnley.

Watford sit six points above Crystal Palace, who are one place outside the dropzone, while Southampton have a game in hand to put pressure on those above them, too.

"We still need to get points," said Mariappa.

"It's five games left so they are five big games and we need to get as many points as we can."

The Hornets can make sure of survival when they come up against Huddersfield Town - on 32 points - and Palace in their next two games.
