Watford boss Roy Hodgson has urged his side to 'keep the faith' in their battle to stay in the Premier League despite Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Leeds United. The Whites romped home with a comfortable win thanks to goals from Raphinha, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison as they moved nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, the Hornets have now lost their last nine home top-flight games and remain stuck inside the bottom three. They still have an outside chance of staying in the division, though, given that they still have to face Burnley, Brentford and Everton between now and the end of the season.
But Everton's win over Manchester United in the early kick-off has dented Watford's hopes - with Hodgson's side now six points behind having played a game more. However, the 74-year-old is optimistic about their chances of getting out of danger.
