Locadia has played to the left of Glenn Murray or Florin Andone in recent weeks, with Solly March on the right, and scored in the draw with Arsenal and win against Everton.

He said: "I'm enjoying myself, I've played good and have a good understanding with Bongy.

"I can come inside and go outside, so it's a good position."

On his opportunities in the draw with Watford, Locadia said: "I had two good chances, two good headers but the keeper saved them both and unfortunately we didn't win.

"I think the first one was the better header and the second one was not properly in the corner."
