Slavisa Jokanovic is confident Watford can handle the pressure of the promotion run-in as the race for the Premier League reaches its climax.

Watford went top of the Championship with a 1-0 win over Birmingham on Saturday and they will be promoted if they win their final two matches.

They travel to Brighton on Saturday and then host Sheffield Wednesday at Vicarage Road on the final day of the season.

Jokanovic said: “Pressure is normal. The players are very good in this situation. They have played under pressure many times this season. It is normal pressure for someone who wants to have achieve something.

“I am very proud of my boys but nothing is finished yet. No one will be surprised if I say what we will be focusing on now. It is Brighton. Football has no memory. We have won but now the challenge is for us at Brighton.”

Watford are one point ahead of Bournemouth and Middlesbrough, and a further two clear of Norwich.

Winger Ikechi Anya said: “Before the season started our aim was to get promoted, which means that we are on course.

“But nothing is won yet, we are going to have to go against Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday and put in similar performances to hopefully get promoted.”
