Quique Sanchez Flores spoke on Friday (5th February) ahead of his Watford side's trip to Tottenham Hostpur on Saturday (6th February).

SOUNDBITE: (English) Quique Sanchez Flores, Watford manager:

(Q. Is it your birthday this week?)

"Yeah, thank you."

(Q. Today?)

"Yeah."

(Happy birthday.)

"Thank you very much."

(Q. Do you expect the players to get your a present?)

"Probably...yeah, probably. The staff, they give the present and the players...the attitude of the players is my present. The attitude in the training ground is perfect."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Quique Sanchez Flores, Watford manager:

(Q. Is it difficult to fit your experienced new signing Mario Suarez in the team given the form of the current midfield?)

"It's not difficult. It's a good decision (to have to make), an easier decision, for the coach when we have the possibility to manage different players for the same positions. We create competition between players and it's the most important thing for the performance of the match - of the team, sorry."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Quique Sanchez Flores, Watford manager:

(Q. What threat can you expect from Tottenham striker Harry Kane?)

"Kane is a very good player, he is very important for them, because the football of Tottenham is in the midfield. They play really well in the middle, but if you don't have a very good striker, you can play very well making possibilities in the middle with more players, with (Delle) Alli, with (Christian) Eriksen, with other players - (Mousa) Dembele - but if you don't have strikers it's impossible to end the product. And they have one of the best strikers in the league."
