Watford captain Troy Deeney is eager to lift the FA Cup today in front of his mother.

Deeney and Watford are rank outsiders against Manchester City.

When asked if the prospect of playing in Europe following an FA Cup victory excited him, he simply responded, "Yeah, it would be nice.

"But if I win, I get to pick up a trophy in front of my mum, which is massive. I ain't done that since I was about 12, so to be honest, I don't really want to look that far ahead.

"That's very cliche, I'm just doing all the work I need to do now to make sure that I'm in the best position that I am to be A, picked but then B, to perform to a level that's acceptable.

"It's the biggest occasion and naturally it's a monumental game in terms of what it means to English football, so to possibly be leading the team out in front of all those people and obviously having my family and friends there it will be massive for me."
