Watford midfielder makes claim on huge upcoming home games as Leeds United set for Vicarage Road test

Moussa Sissoko believes Watford have to win all four of their remaining home games to stand a chance of staying up starting with Leeds United on Saturday. The Hornets face Leeds in a huge relegation six pointer, which could either put clear daylight between Jesse Marsch’s side and the bottom three, or drag them back into the mix.

Watford are also set to host both Brentford and Burnley later this month and simply must accumulate a decent points total to stand any chance of survival. But they will need a drastic change in their home form of recent months in order to do so, as the Hornets have not won at Vicarage Road since November, which is just one of two wins they have picked up on their home turf all season.

Speaking to Watfordfc.com, Sissoko is hoping that he and his teammates can take the positives from their performance in the 2-0 defeat at Liverpool into their huge upcoming run of matches and get the points on the board they so desperately need.

He said: “We know that the massive games will be at home. We have four games at home and they will be very important for us, so we will need to win all of the games at home, but it won’t be easy. We have to make sure we stick together and we give everything on the pitch.

“If we do that, I think we will stay up with the performance today against one of the best teams in the world. I think there are a lot of positives to take. Now we are going to learn about what we did good and what we didn’t do good. We are going to need it for our next game against Leeds United at home.”
