Despite Newcastle United's woes, manager Rafa Benitez is confident their first win of the season is not far away.

The Magpies drew 0-0 with Southampton at St. Mary's on Saturday. Toon remain one of the Premier League's winless clubs along with Huddersfield.

But Benitez says he sees enough positives for the club turn things around against an in-form Watford this Saturday.

"A point is more positive than negative," the Spaniard said.

"Could it be better? Yes, but they were pushing us in the second half and we wanted to keep a clean sheet.

"The positive thing for me was that the team was working really hard and you could see the team spirit.

"The team fought until the end in a difficult situation so that is positive."
