Watford manager Roy Hodgson believes his side will be feeling ‘good about themselves’ ahead of Saturday’s clash with Leeds United despite the weekend defeat to Liverpool. The Hornets took the quadruple hopefuls all the way at Anfield and were right in the game until a dubious 88 th minute Fabinho penalty put the game to bed at 2-0.
Watford have overcome a tough run of fixtures with just a three point gap to safety, though the side directly above them Everton, do have two games in hand. Hodgson’s men now face matches against Leeds, Brentford and Burnley at home in three of their next four, which ultimately go a long way to deciding their fate.
The first of those games comes against Leeds this weekend, and a win could drag the Whites back into the battle. Speaking after the game against Liverpool on Saturday, Hodgson revealed that his side did not get too down about the result at Anfield and is instead hopeful of a positive mindset for the game against Leeds.
