Almen Abdi claims Watford have Championship's four best strikers

Almen Abdi believes that Watford's strikeforce of Troy Deeney, Fernando Forestieri, Odion Ighalo and Matej Vydra is the best in the Championship.

Midfielder Almen Abdi has claimed that Watford's strikeforce of Troy Deeney, Fernando Forestieri, Odion Ighalo and Matej Vydra is the strongest in the Championship.

Only leaders Bournemouth (65) have scored more goals in the league this season than fifth-placed Watford, who have netted 63 at an average of 2.03 a game.

In Ighalo, they have the league's most in-form marksman following a run of 12 goals in eight games.

"Troy and Ighalo are similar but also very different," the Watford Observer quotes Swiss midfielder Abdi as saying. "Troy is so strong and powerful whilst Ighalo is strong and skilful but he also has a very good finish.

"Then we have Vydra who is very quick and Fernando who is a tricky player. It is good that we have those four players and they work together well.

"So with Ighalo, Troy, Forestieri and Vydra we probably have the best four strikers in the Championship."

As things stand in the Championship, just three points separate the top five, but Middlesbrough could go three clear of the pack and six clear of Watford if they win at Birmingham City tonight.
