Watford defender Lloyd Doyley insists he is not worried about the prospect of taking on Nicolas Anelka.

The French striker is set to make his Bolton Wanderers debut against the Hornets on Saturday after making an £8million move to the Reebok Stadium from Fenerbahce last month.

Anelka has an impressive track record in top-class football, but after just three games in the Premiership, Doyley is already used to facing big-name strikers.

"I know they've signed Anelka, and they've already got some great players such as Davies, Nolan and Diouf," the 23-year-old told the club's official website.

"But that's no different to any week in the Premiership for us now. We are going to be up against the world's best players every week and we know that.

"Personally I've been pleased with my start, but I know I can get better."
