Javi Gracia expects a well drilled Fulham side to pose Watford a threat at Craven Cottage and has speaks highly of their manager Slavisa Jokanovic.

The Serbian led Watford to promotion from the Championship in 2015 and repeated the trick to take the Cottagers up last term.

Gracia has been impressed with what he has seen from Jokanovic so far this season and is expecting a tough examination from Saturday’s hosts.

He said: "I know Jokanovic from Spain when he was a player and I played against him. In my opinion he was a very good player and coach.

"Fulham is a good team playing in their first season in the Premier League after getting promotion.

"They are a well organised team who have more of the ball than others do, 54 or 55 per cent. We will try to surprise them, get a good result and take the three points."
