Leeds United boss Javi Garcia is hoping to thrash Chelsea on Saturday just as he did when he was in charge of Watford five years ago.

Garcia had only been appointed as Watford boss when he thrashed Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side 4-1 at Vicarage Road in February 2018.

“I remember it perfectly,” he told a press conference on Thursday. “It was my second win and my first win at home.

“I hope this will be the same. It was a tough game, we were a little bit lucky because there was a red card.”

The game against Chelsea will be Garcia’s third game in charge of Leeds United, having beaten Southampton in his opener, followed by defeat at Fulham last time out.
