Walter Mazzarri has warned his Watford side they will face a revitalised Swansea under their new manager Bob Bradley.

Bradley lost his first game as Swansea boss last week but his men showed fight as they went down 3‑2 at Arsenal and Mazzarri expects tomorrow’s hosts to build on that performance.

“Usually when you change coach the team always has a positive reaction on the pitch,” said Mazzarri. “Swansea have already shown they have been playing much better, they played very well against Arsenal. They are a good team who deserve more points than those they have until today.

“Even under Francesco Guidolin they were playing good football and in their stadium they are a team that we have to be aware of.”

Forward Isaac Success has not trained this week because of a hamstring injury.

Right-back Daryl Janmaat is back in training after a shoulder injury and could return against Hull next weekend.

Centre-half Craig Cathcart may need surgery to cure a groin and hip problem.
