Watford boss Nigel Pearson is expecting a win this evening in their FA Cup third round replay at Tranmere Rovers.

The Hornets will be playing on a pitch recovering from heavy rainfall, with a Liverpool Women's game due to take place at Prenton Park called off over the weekend because the ground was waterlogged.

"Based on the fact that they're at home, they're on a pitch which will be very heavy, I can see the argument," he said about Tranmere possibly being the favourites to win.

"But having said that, they've also now got expectation on them. In the same way that we would have the expectation that we should win at our place, now maybe the expectation is turned around and if that's the case, fine.

"All we do is go there and play the game and I would expect us to win it."
