Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores believes it’s only a matter of time before Troy Deeney scores his first Premier League goal.
The Vicarage Road captain had scored 77 Championship goals in five years and became the first player at the club to score 20 or more in all competitions in three consecutive seasons.
Last term he netted 21 times as Watford finished second in the Championship and won automatic promotion to the top flight.
But he missed a number of chances in Saturday's 0-0 home draw with West Bromwich Albion and has still to get off the mark since competitive action began.
Deeney turned down the chance to join Premier League teams in the past but finally made it there with Watford.
Now Spaniard Flores expects to see him get his reward for that soon by finding the net and said: "Troy is involved but it was difficult (for the other players) to get connected with him.
"There were a lot of players around Troy which is why we tried to play down the sides and put crosses in.
"West Brom put a lot of players inside the box but Deeney is connecting with the team. He is one of the leaders of the side.
"I have no doubts about Troy and I would not be surprised if he scored in the next game."
