Watford defender Kiko Femenia insists they have everything to play for against Liverpool today.

The 31-year-old is under no illusions about the difficulty of the task that awaits him in Merseyside, as Watford go head-to-head with a title challenger.

After an important victory against Southampton before the international break, Femenía believes it is important to continue that momentum going into the encounter against the Reds and the final part of the season.

“I think for the group, the way we were working these last few weeks, we had come from a bad run of form, and I think that game at Southampton gave us more confidence when it came to our performances," said Femenía.

“We went into the break with that calmness too which is good after a year that has also been a pretty tough season. And now we face the final straight with maximum confidence and certainty that we're going for the three points, no matter who the opponent is because we need the points more than anything else.

“We've still got a lot of points to win and we're right in there. In other words, it's more about gaining confidence in the game, feeling comfortable, feeling that we can beat any team and also our ambition. I think ambition is the key to winning games and if we go out to win, we're going to win a lot of them."
