Watford midfielder Etienne Capoue is confident the team will continue to improve under manager Quique Sanchez Flores. The Hornets have enjoyed a steady return to top-flight football this season and, as well as ensuring their Premier League status for the next campaign, will face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.Capoue believes Flores will take Watford to greater heights, having become familiar with his squad over the season. Can the team improve? Of course, because its our first season. We are a new team in the Premier League, said Capoue.We expected to have a good year but we have had a very good one with a lot of new players.Now he knows everyone and new players will come in next season to reach another step in the Premier League, so why not?Flores position as head coach is apparently under threat, with Watford owner Gino Pozzo believed to be considering another change following a run of just three league wins since the turn of the year. Quique Sanchez Flores has guided Watford to an FA Cup semi final And while Capoue, 27, is refusing to be distracted by the speculation he is adamant Flores is getting the best out of the Hornets squad.(His future) is none of my business, I just do my job. But he has had a very good season and hes a good manager, Capoue said.We have a special relationship. Its more human than just talking about football.Thats what helped to push me on. Hes a human being and understands me and I understand him. Its a simple relationship.We talk about anything outside football. We try to know each other and what we like. Its like a dad and son, or a big brother and small brother. We have the same relationship.

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Derrick Thomas Youth Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. MILAN -- First there was BBC, then there was MSN, and now theres ... PDS?Unlike Real Madrid and Barcelona, Romas front three dont make up such a catchy acronym, but they are having the same effect on the field, if not better.Real Madrid trio Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored 19 goals in the Spanish league, while Barcelonas front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have netted 21 times.Roma attackers Diego Perotti, Edin Dzeko and Mohamed Salah have scored 25 times in the Italian league, helping the capital club to be the top scorer in Serie A -- with 33 goals -- and third in Europe behind only Monaco and Real Madrid.Much of that has been down to Dzeko, who bears little resemblance to the player he was last season.Dzeko wasnt the striker Roma hoped for after it signed him from Manchester City in August 2015, but he is now scoring goals almost at will.The 30-year-old Bosnian leads the scoring chart in Serie A with 12 goals in 14 matches, four more than he scored last season in 31 league appearances. Dzeko has also netted five times in his last two Europa League matches.It is that free-scoring style which has the players thinking about a first league title since 2001 -- which would be fitting in what is almost certain to be captain Francesco Tottis final year as a player.Roma is second in the standings, four points behind five-time defending champion Juventus after its 3-2 victory over Pescara and the Bianconeris 3-1 loss at Genoa.But it faces a difficult run in the league, with the capital derby against Lazio on Sunday followed by matches against in-form AC Milan and Juventus.I said to the team at the beginning of the season that we had to fight for the title and I still think that, Perotti said. Were four points behind Juventus and we still have to play them. We have a winning team. Its true we make mistakes but to win tthe title you need to win matches like that against Pescara.ddddddddddddNow we have a cycle of three difficult matches, and we need to take advantage of the form of Dzeko, who is having a crazy season.This weekends derby should be one of the closest in years, with Lazio having its best start to the season in 13 years.Roma will not get away with similar mistakes it made against Pescara, where it almost let slip a two-goal advantage.Ive scored 12 goals and I want to continue in this way, Dzeko said after Sunday nights match, in which he netted twice in the opening 10 minutes. But we have to improve because if we play like this we wont beat Lazio. But the derby is another story, we want to win and we will do everything to do so.Hardcore Roma fans are likely to continue their boycott in protest at the barriers introduced at the start of last season in their area.To be completely honest, its not great for a player, Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny said. When I was at Arsenal, I saw images of the Rome derby on TV and it seemed amazing, with the stadium packed out and pumping.I would love to experience that and see the fans crowded into the stadium. I hope to see the Olimpico full at some point. In the meantime, we need to focus on the pitch, not the stands.Three of Romas local heroes held a meeting with the ultras during the week. Totti, vice captain Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Florenzi asked the fans to return, while the club itself is doing its bit to try to resolve the matter.All we can do is keep raising the issue with the authorities as to the need to consider the supporters peacefully returning to the stadium, Roma chief executive Umberto Gandini said. This matter is on the agenda and its one that is very important to us. ' ' '
