Pre-match quotes from both managers
Watford boss Javi Gracia: "We know it will be a tough game against a very good team. I think today, playing with a line of four defenders, we will have a good balance.
Everton boss Sam Allardyce: "It's about being competitive today and trying to repeat a performance that we've been giving at home on a regular basis. We're very good at home but we've struggled away."
