Javi Gracia: We can be considered as the new Leicester City

Watford boss Javi Gracia has said that his side can be considered as the new Leicester City after a perfect start to their Premier League season.

Gracia's side have won all their opening league games this term, putting them in third position behind Chelsea and Liverpool.

Watford's start has taken fans back to the 2015/16 season when Leicester City won the Premier League title against all odds after a similar start.

"We have started so well in the Premier League that we can be considered the new Leicester," Gracia told The Sun.

The Watford boss added that he is not afraid of the comparison with the 2016 Premier League champions, and further said that life would have continued for him in its natural way even if the season started badly.

After ending Tottenham Hotspur's perfect start to the season in their last game, Watford will face Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in their next encounter after the international break.

The game will be played on the 15th of September, by 5:30PM UK time.
