Flores’ Watford can sink Swans in Premier League clash

Flores confident in light of winless streak

Despite the club’s recent rocky patch, Watford boss Flores is staying positive and maintains his side have enough about them to mount a challenge this season.

“Except for the Southampton match, we are playing very well against amazing teams,” Flores said. “We have played to a high level for a long time in this category so it is normal that just one time.

“So we are waiting for this match (on Monday). We are in the top half of the table before Saturday’s games and we are very positive along with the players.

“It is our power that we are consistent; we have our rules when we play. We work together – as a block, as a unit. Of course we have had some sweet moments earlier in December but I never saw anyone start to think about not working hard or doing his job.

“There were some great matches at Christmas time and we have had a busy programme, just like all the other clubs.”

Swans need Ayew on form

If the hosts are to get anything, they need attacker Andre Ayew on top form, though the former Marseille man has been linked with a lucrative move to Sunderland this month, so cannot let this distract him.

Ironically, Ayew scored last time out in the 4-2 defeat to the Black Cats and is 6/5 to net anytime once more, while Gylfi Sigurdsson who also dispatched is 2/1 in the same market. Bafetimbi Gomis, meanwhile, who has recently been linked with Newcastle is 9/2 to open the scoring.
