Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores admits he has extra motivation to beat Arsenal on Sunday.

The new Hornets boss is set to face the Gunners in his first match since replacing Javi Gracia at Vicarage Road.

“You always want to win," he said.

“You want to win and get goals, but it's always a good motivation when you play against coaches with a good CV and a history and everything.

“It's amazing, it's a good motivation, but it's extra motivation, this is not the main motivation.

“To get to the next step, this is what we want at the moment.

“Basically, we are not in the way that we want, or in the situation we want, so we need to take the next step, to feel more comfortable in the league table.

“Once we do that, we start to think about what is our limit.

“I'm really motivated in general, I don't need extra motivation. It will be very emotional, but all of us starting from the fans, we know that the most important thing now is the team and to support the players because they need confidence."
