Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has said he is wary of Watford's organisation and counter attacking threat, as the sides prepare to meet at Vicarage Road tomorrow afternoon.

The American has overseen an improvement since taking over at Elland Road, with the Yorkshire side picking up seven points from their last three games, after an eight match winless run.

However, he believes he believes building on that tomorrow will be made difficult by Watford's discipline and aggression.

“I think that Watford are a really disciplined, defensive group. They don’t give much away, they stay pretty organised, they stay very compact, sometimes defending deep. But they are incredibly aggressive and often lethal in transition moments," said Marsch in his pre-match press conference.

"They have the second most chances of shots in transition in counter phases in matches in the league and it’s because they really look to play to that strength, so we have to be very aware of that and often Watford is most dangerous when we have the ball. We have to make sure that we are balanced and how compact we are in our defence phases and counter pressing phases to make sure that we don’t allow their attacking players to be in open spaces and running at our defensive group.

"It’s a little bit tricky preparing for them because they rotate a lot of players, they have a talented group, a lot of good one v one players and every time I prepare for a match in this league, it is hard to find weaknesses in the ways that teams do things.

"I know that Watford is a team that is low on the table and fighting relegation but I still think that Roy Hodgson has done a good job with them, that they are disciplined and organised and it will not be an easy match for us.”

Marsch went on to praise Hodgson's career and said that his passion for the job was to be admired.

“I have watched him for years in a lot of different places," the Leeds boss continued. "He has been at the national team in a lot of different places and he has had an incredible career. The passion that he still has at his age is something to admire and I don’t know what I’ll be doing then because one year in a manager’s life can feel like ten.

"I have so much respect for the career that he has had and what he has accomplished in his career, no doubt.”
