Aitor Karanka eyes victory over Watford

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka says that he expected Watford to be challenging for promotion as the two teams prepare to meet at Vicarage Road.

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has said that his team are targeting three points from their clash against Watford on Monday.

Boro are currently top of the Championship table, but they are only two points clear of fourth-placed Watford with six games of the season left to play.

"I expected them [to be challenging] because they have a very good manager," Gazette Live quotes Karanka as saying.

"I know him and they have good players, especially the forwards, I think they have 50 goals between three players in Troy Deeney, [Matej] Vydra and [Odion] Ighalo.

"It's not a coincidence they're in this position but we have to think about ourselves and go to Watford thinking we'll beat them."

Middlesbrough have won three of their previous four league matches and claimed a 1-0 victory over Wigan Athletic on their last outing.
