Marco Silva is helping Andre Gray 'to try and score more Watford goals'

Marco Silva believes Andre Gray should have scored more goals since moving from Burnley to Watford in the summer.

The 26-year-old striker spent two seasons with the Clarets before joining the Hornets for a club record transfer fee of £18.5m.

He netted 25 times as Sean Dyche's side won promotion back to the Premier League in 2015/16, before adding 10 more goals last season.

Gray, who has scored twice for Watford this season, returns to Turf Moor on Saturday and Silva said: "For him, it is important to score, and strikers will take more confidence if they do that.

"In some moments he is performing well. He has scored two goals in the Premier League and he wants more.

"We want more as well and it is work we need to do together.

"He was happy at Burnley and he performed well and scored important goals. But now he is here with us and I talk with him and it is important for him not to lose his confidence and find the solutions to score.

"Many things are different for him here. Burnley play in a different way with two strikers most of the time.

"He has a profile to play a different way and we are working for him to play in our philosophy.

"He is working hard and that is the most important thing for me."

Gray was dropped to the bench for Watford's 1-1 draw against Tottenham last weekend, as captain Troy Deeney made his first start for the club after serving a three-game suspension.

As for naming his team to face Burnley, Silva added: "This time we have two options: Andre or Troy, and I will take the decision."
