Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores admits he's a fan of Eddie Howe's Bournemouth.

The Spaniard remembers the Cherries well from his time at Hornets four seasons ago.

He said: "Four years ago when we were training here in Watford, both times we played Bournemouth the feeling I had was they are a very stable team, with a very stable manager and they had a really good idea of football.

"Four years later I think it is exactly the same after I analyse the team. Of course they change some players, this is football and little by little the squads change, but the philosophy of the club and the team is the same.

"They are a really, really good team and I imagine it will be a very tough match, but I think we have the possibility to get something important for us."
