Watford manager Walter Mazzarri ready for a fired-up Burnley at Turf Moor in bid for three straight wins

Walter Mazzarri expects Burnley to be fired up for the visit of Watford on Monday night following the Hornets' impressive victory against Manchester United last weekend.

Watford will head to Turf Moor bidding for a hat-trick of successive victories after they followed up their comeback win at West Ham with a 3-1 triumph over United on Sunday.

Newly-promoted Burnley have won just once - a fine 2-0 victory against Liverpool - on their return to the Premier League. But Mazzarri believes Sean Dyche's side will be raring to go against Watford for the Monday night fixture.

'They are going to be very charged - after we beat Manchester United - and it will be very important for them to win against us,' Mazzarri said.
