Watford manager Javi Gracia is very much satisfied with the preseason his side has been having so far.

The Hornets started their warm-up matches with a draw against Koln and a win over Fortuna Dusseldorf in Austria, before two more wins in England against Stevenage and Brentford.

"The players have done outstanding work so far this pre-season, both here and in Austria. I'm happy with all of them," Gracia told the club's official website.

"I think we are going to be a good team with identity, soul and energy to compete in the Premier League. If we recover the players who are injured we are in a very good position."
