Quique Flores: 'We are the bad boys in Norwich, Sunderland relegation fight'

Watford boss Quique Flores says that his team have to play the role of 'bad boys' when they take on relegation battlers Norwich City and Sunderland.

Watford manager Quique Flores has described his team as the 'bad boys' in the Premier League relegation battle.

The Hornets, who are already safe in 13th place, will face Norwich City and Sunderland, who are both fighting for survival, in their final two league games of the season.

Norwich are four points from safety, while Sunderland are just one point above the drop zone with two games left to play.

"We need to be competitive, we need to respect the other team, and other teams don't need to have any doubts about us because we will use the best players we can," Flores told reporters.

"I don't like to play against Norwich and Sunderland because they are fighting against relegation and it's always very sad, but in this case we are the bad boy in the film. This is our role and we need to play it."

Watford have won just two of their last 10 league games.
