David Unsworth will be making sure more than most that Watford are not taken lightly tonight.

The Ipswich Town defender will line-up against the lowly Coca-Cola Championship side in their League clash at Portman Road but Unsworth is well aware of the threat they could pose.

The former Everton man, who joined Town on loan at the end of January, was in the Portsmouth side that was humbled 3-0 at Vicarage Road in the Carling Cup last November.

The Hornets went on to take the scalp of fellow Premiership side Southampton en route to the semi-finals where they lost 1-0 on aggregate to Liverpool.

Unsworth told the Gazette: "When I was at Portsmouth we played at their ground and got turned over in the quarter-finals of the cup they're no mugs.

"Although they did well in the cup I'm sure they'll be looking at their League position (17th) and be disappointed by it and will be sure to raise their game tonight."
