Watford's home draw against Leeds United in the FA Cup fifth round is good news as every match at Vicarage Road is "like a little party", according to Quique Sanchez Flores.

The Hornets' reward for a scrappy 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, courtesy of Odion Ighalo's late goal, is a visit from the Championship side on the weekend of February 20.

Steve Evans' side, who are 14th in the Championship, progressed to the last 16 with a 2-1 win at Bolton Wanderers. Former Hornet Toumani Diagouraga scored United's winner on his first start for the club.

Asked about the tie this morning, Flores said: "It’s very good news. We are happy to play again in front of our fans. It’s very nice.

"We are ready to play in every single stadium but I am happy every time we play at Vicarage Road because it’s like a little party for us.

"I hope we have the possibility to go through to the next round. It’s like a dream because we are very good in the league and really good in the FA Cup.

"It’s a very amazing season and we have to enjoy this experience."
