Norwich City manager Alex Neil has admitted that he sees Saturday's fixture with Watford as a "great opportunity" to get points on the board.

Neil feels that the Canaries deserve to be higher than their current position of 16th in the Premier League table, and the Scot is hopeful that his team can make strides up the standings with a win at Vicarage Road.

The 34-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "The performances haven't been reflected in the points that we have got, but ultimately it is about us making sure that we get those points, and Saturday is a great opportunity for us to do that.

"We know the threat that Watford pose, and we will make sure we are set up to combat that, but also to have a threat going the other way.

"In recent weeks, we have been gradually improving. On Sunday [against Arsenal], we put a really good performance in."

Norwich have won the last three fixtures between the two sides.
