Javi Gracia is expecting a "special" evening when he sits in the Watford dugout at Vicarage Road for the first time in over six years.

The Spaniard returned to the club last week as head coach following the departure of predecessor Paulo Pezzolano.

His last home game in charge during his first spell with the Hornets was in August 2019 and he said: "It will be amazing, something really special for me, to be in Vicarage Road, in that atmosphere, to feel what I felt in the past - I am looking forward to that moment and it's something I am going to enjoy.
