Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores remains upbeat despite a run of four successive defeats and is confident that results will soon improve for the Hornets.

Monday night's 1-0 loss o Swansea City means that the Hornets have claimed just one point from their last five league games but Flores is not downcast.

"We are working the same way but we are playing against teams with very good players," he said on Sky Sports.

"It's not easy for Watford to win four consecutive matches, but we don't like to lose four consecutive matches.

"The target is not far away, it's close, and we just have to think about repeating the performance in the second half."

Ashley Williams' 27th-minute header separated the two sides at the Liberty Stadium as Watford finished the round sitting 12th on the table.
