Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores is expecting Sunday's Premier League clash with Sunderland to be an emotional one as he takes charge of the Hornets for the last time.
It was announced on Friday that the Spaniard would be leaving Vicarage Road after just one season in charge, during which the club has comfortably avoided relegation, secured a mid-table position and reached the FA Cup semi-finals.
"I am excited for the last match at Vicarage Road," he said.
"We have a lot of reasons to be happy, we completed the objective and we have the opportunity to play in the stadium with our own fans, so it will be amazing.
"It will be really, really emotional and special.
"It's a long season in England and it's really, really good for a team who has just been promoted to get 44 points.
"They have finished in the position they deserve. My work is done."
The outgoing home boss is expected to name an unchanged squad for Sunday's game, with Valon Behrami (rib) and Etienne Capoue (knee) again set to miss out.
For the visitors, meanwhile, manager Sam Allardyce has admitted that he will look to blood several youngsters now that the club's survival has been secured.
"We'll give some of the young 'uns a go," he said. "Some of the Under-21s have been training with us for quite a while, week in, week out.
"They seem to be capable and putting them into a game that effectively doesn't mean too much, is helpful.
"This is a great opportunity to play some of the youngsters and hopefully they'll stand up at Watford, which gives us some encouragement to include them in the first-team squad for the start of the season.
"If you don't play the youngsters, you don't know if they're going to be good enough."
That triumph at the Stadium of Light extended Sunderland's unbeaten run to five games, but they have only tasted victory once in their last seven away league fixtures.
- Only one team (West Ham) have stopped Sunderland from scoring in the Black Cats’ last 13 Premier League away games
- Troy Deeney has assisted Odion Ighalo seven times this season in the Premier League - no player has assisted another more often (Tottenham's Dele Alli to Harry Kane also 7)
- The Black Cats spent 237 days in the relegation zone this season but still survived; only Southampton in 1998/99 were in the drop-zone for longer without being relegated (252).
- In 2016, Watford have averaged just 0.83 points per game in the top-flight, compared to 1.53 points per game in the first-half of the season.
