Craig Cathcart positive Watford's fitness will soon be up to scratch as 'the games come thick and fast'

Watford defender Craig Cathcart is confident his side's fitness will improve over the next few weeks.

The Hornets were leading Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday but conceded twice in the last 10 minutes to Michy Batshuayi and Diego Costa to come away empty-handed.

They will be back at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night to face Gillingham in the EFL Cup with Cathcart looking for a quick pick-me-up.

'Fitness might come into it a little bit, but it's still early in the season and we're all finding our feet,' he told the Watford Observer.
