Tighter Watford matches are a coincidence, says Mazzarri

Despite Watford keeping their first two clean sheets of the season in succession, Walter Mazzarri insists he did not change anything.

Walter Mazzarri insists Watford's recent defensive improvement is not due to any changes he has made.

The Hornets failed to keep a clean sheet in their opening seven Premier League games of the season, but have responded by shutting out both Middlesbrough and Swansea City.

Scoring just once across those two matches, the goals have also dried up somewhat for Watford, but Mazzarri says those consecutive tight encounters are just a coincidence.

"I didn't really change things - I don't change my mind on my style," he said ahead of Hull City's visit on Saturday.
