Norwich City boss Dean Smith says victory over Everton has lifted atmosphere around the club.
Smith feels the 2-1 win over Everton - following which the Merseyside club sacked manager Rafael Benitez - has given everyone a "spring in their step" as they aim to pull themselves out of the bottom three with victory at Vicarage Road on Friday night.
"It has certainly lifted the place," said former Aston Villa boss Smith, who replaced Daniel Farke in mid-November.
"I said before the Everton game to the players that it wasn't quite the "be all and end all" game, but it was getting that way.
"Getting that victory was really important for us and probably takes a little bit more pressure off of us now going into this Watford game - but we all know how important this game is and that it can do a lot for both teams.
"It gives us the opportunity to try and climb out of the relegation places, for however long, and it also gives Watford the opportunity to try and get away from us."
