Watford boss Xisco: We know how important 'Maxi' to Newcastle | OneFootball

Watford boss Xisco Munoz says they must keep watch on Allan Saint-Maximin against Newcastle United this weekend.

Speaking ahead of the Magpies' visit, Munoz also stressed the need for his side to fide the correct 'balance' in their play.

He told the Watford Observer: "Maxi is an important player for them. We know this and we have respect for all the players, they are a very good team, they have very good things and a very good manager. It's a hard game.

"It's important we have good moments in the game. And it's important, what we spoke about the last three matches, we stay for a long time, at a good level in our games.

"They have different things, we will try to stop the transition. They're very good in transitions. We will try to stop them and after we will try to give our options in attack.

"It's important what we said before about the balance, that we have the balance in offence and defence. I think we can do it."
