Cleverley wants Watford to ‘inflict more pain’ on Luton
Current form counts for very little in any derby game, and Tom Cleverley says his plans for the match at Luton on Saturday are not influenced by their recent results.
And having been a player under him at Vicarage Road, the Watford boss has much respect for his Luton counterpart Rob Edwards.
However, despite both those factors, Cleverley admits he want to “inflict more pain” on Edwards and Luton at Kenilworth Road.
“What Luton have done doesn’t concern me much, and I think form goes out of the window in derby games,” said Cleverley.
“It’s a unique game and one where we won’t focus on current form.
“Yes, I prefer my team to be going into the game with confidence than lacking it, but it’s not been part of our preparation to focus on their results.
