Watford 'respect' Leeds United but don't fear them, insists Tom Cleverley

There are 12 places and 34 points separating Watford and Leeds United in the Championship standings heading into the final five weeks of the regular league season. But interim Hornets head coach Tom Cleverley insists there will be no inferiority complex on show when the two clubs collide at Vicarage Road tomorrow night.

Yet Cleverley is relishing the challenge of pitting his wits against United. He said: "They are the current league leaders, that doesn’t mean there is a sense of inferiority from us at all, that’s the way I was as a player, and that’s the way I will be as a coach, and we will do everything we can to win the game."They are doing brilliantly well; it’s a massive football club with a very successful manager in this league. We have to respect the challenge ahead.

"I think the application of the players is what ultimately wins you games at this level, but there is so much going on from a technical point of view.
