West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has pointed to Watford's 'power and pace' ahead of their game at Vicarage Road tomorrown night, and says he is expecting a difficult game from the Hornets.
After taking four points from Arsenal and Manchester United in their past two games, the Baggies come into the fixture riding the crest of a wave but Pulis has warned of an 'after the lord mayor's show' performance.
He said: "You play Arsenal and Manchester United and all the hype that goes with those two clubs, the big worry is Watford now.
"We’re playing them on a Tuesday night and it’s going to be a different game and we’ve got to be ready for that game.
"Watford are a good side with a good squad of players. Lots of pace and power in the team.
We know it’s going to be a tough game. The Premier League is about coming up against teams with different strengths."
The Baggies have a 10-point advantage over their hosts and could put the pressure on seventh-placed Everton with victory tomorrow.
There may be a recall for star player Matty Phillips after several weeks out with injury, with Pulis confirming the midfielder was "getting closer" and could be part of the travelling squad.
