Watford manager Quique Flores hints that he will make changes to his side when they welcome Leeds United to Vicarage Road in the FA Cup fifth round.

Watford manager Quique Flores has hinted that he will make a number of changes to his starting lineup for next weekend's FA Cup clash with Leeds United.

The Hornets will host their Championship opponents at Vicarage Road on Saturday looking to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.

With his side just four off the 40-point target for Premier League survival following their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, Flores insists that he will give the FA Cup his full attention, but also use it as a chance to field some of his fringe players.

"We have to do our best in the cup because I know our fans really want it," Flores told reporters.

"They want us to follow this result with another win, but for me I want to enjoy this result first because this is really difficult to win [at Palace]. I respect the competition but I also respect the players in my squad.

"All the players deserve to play and that's why this season in the cup I try to put them in the first XI. We have 25 players and we can play a strong team. We have a lot of players who train really, really well and deserve to play and in the cup we have a chance to name a really decent team."

Watford have not reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup since 2007.
