Star Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue insists his team aren't even thinking about winning the Premier League title or qualifying for Europe at this early stage of the season. Capoue says any thoughts of emulating the feats of shock title winners Leicester City or Europa League qualifiers Burnley would make their season 'a mess' and they would 'lose every game.'

Frenchman Capoue also reflected on his country's World Cup win, adding that Les Bleus triumphed because of their team spirit and because they 'were a bunch of friends.' Capoue was speaking ahead of Watford's Premier League clash with unbeaten Spurs - a win could take them top of the table, though the midfielder was downplaying any talk of a top six finish.
