Watford manager Malky Mackay is confident his side can beat the drop this season.

The Hornets looked a decent outside bet for the play-offs earlier in the campaign but now lie just two points above the relegation zone following Tuesday night's home defeat by Swansea.

Mackay, however, is not pressing the panic button.

"We've got to win as many games as we can between now and the end of the season," he said.

"There are a lot of points up for grabs and if we play like that the ball will drop for us and we will score goals."
