Watford’s Étienne Capoue fancies his chances against Newcastle this weekend, and Newcastle fans are finding it hard to disagree with the Frenchman.
Newcastle travel to Watford this weekend with both teams safe from the relegation scrap, and Watford midfielder Capoue reckons the Hornets will get back on track against the Magpies.
Watford are only six points clear of the drop, but there is clearly no real concern about their safety, as the Hornets have been playing like they’re already on the beach for weeks.
There was a similar feeling around the Newcastle performance on Saturday, as Rafael Benitez’s side followed up a loss to Everton with a disappointing home defeat to West Brom, and Capoue is hoping to add to that misery.

“We created a lot of chances and this is important for the team, the strikers and the attacking midfielders. We kept creating chances against a big team, so we are in the right way and we are going to score on Saturday I feel it,” the 29 year-old said after Monday’s defeat to Tottenham.
“We managed to create chances and if we keep doing it we will begin to get results. We want to be focused on Newcastle and if we play like that we will get the points against Newcastle.”
The Hornets will certainly be confident after winning the return fixture 3-0 at St. James’ Park, and Newcastle fans seem to agree with their rival on this one.
