Watford manager Gianfranco Zola insists his players must ensure that they enjoy playing in the Championship playoff final on Monday afternoon.

Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has revealed that it is a "pleasure" to be competing in the Championship playoff final.

The Hornets meet Crystal Palace on Monday afternoon with the winners achieving a place in next season's Premier League, but Zola has insisted that he will not get stressed over the occasion.

The 46-year-old told BBC Three Counties Radio: "If they don't enjoy it, they are crazy.

"We've been working all year to get to this situation and I don't want too much pressure to distract them from the atmosphere.

"Whatever happens it will be a great day and to be there will be a pleasure, not a stress."

Watford progressed through to the final thanks to an injury-time goal against Leicester City in the second leg of their semi-final tie.
