Watford striker Darius Henderson hopes he has done enough from the substitute's bench in recent games to earn a starting place for the Hornets' next Premiership clash against title-chasing Chelsea.

The 25-year-old has come on as a substitute for the last three matches and scored Watford's consolation goal in the 3-1 defeat at Tottenham.

The former Gillingham forward told the club's official website: "As a substitute all you can do is go on and give it your all and I'm just glad to be able to contribute.

"It's been proven in the past that you can change a game as a substitute, but I know that scoring goals doesn't necessarily keep you in the team.

"You want to test yourself against the best and Chelsea are one of the best, not just in this country, but the world.

"I definitely want to start in that game. However, you can't take anything for granted. You never know what the gaffer's thinking."
