Watford captain Troy Deeney insists they're capable of upsetting Manchester City this weekend.

City host Javi Gracia's outfit on Saturday evening and Deeney says he wants Watford to improve their form on the road against the Premier League's top six, starting at the Etihad.

“You can see the passion and the desire to win is there," Deeney told watfordfc.com. “People look at us and say we're on 40 points and we're comfortable, we're going to relax, but I think it shows with everyone coming off the bench you see that this team is keen to progress and wants to do more.

“Obviously the one [improvement] would be trying to get some points on the board against the big teams away from home.

“I think that's a clear one to try and address - and we've got the 'easy' task of playing Manchester City away this week, so let's try and make it there!"
