Watford head coach Quique Flores insists that he has not decided who will start in goal for the club's FA Cup semi-final with Crystal Palace.

Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores has suggested that goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon is not guaranteed a start in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.

Pantilimon has featured in Watford's last three victories in the competition but Flores has hinted that he has not decided who will play in goal in Sunday's clash at Wembley Stadium.

The Spaniard is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "The goalkeeper situation is like the right-back situation, the centre-back situation, the winger, striker. I would like to choose 24 but have to choose 11.

"They play well. The feeling we have with Pantilimon is he is a very good professional. We will use common sense to take decisions."

Watford are bidding to reach their first FA Cup final since 1984.
