Watford captain Troy Deeney says they're determined not to suffer any late season fadeout.

Deeney struck in victory over Leicester City on Sunday.

Watford won only one of their last nine league fixtures last season and suffered six consecutive defeats at the end of the 2016-17 campaign, but Deeney is confident Javi Gracia's side can maintain their push for a Europa League spot.

"We aren't happy to win just one and lose three," he said. "We want to make sure we finish as high as we can. The media have said after January there will be a Watford meltdown.

"Egos are out of the window, everyone is trying. Look at the depth of the squad - everyone is willing to fight."
