West Brom interim boss James Morrison says he will continue to "squash" reports of a possible points deduction among players and focus on the football.

The in-form Baggies beat Preston on Saturday to extend their unbeaten Championship run to eight matches and move five points clear of the relegation places with just three games to go.

Victory at home to Watford on Tuesday (19:45 BST) would have gone a long way to securing safety, but potential celebrations may be muted.

Albion are reportedly facing English Football League charges for an alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules, talk of which Morrison has banned his players from discussing.

"We're in this position and we just wanted to go back-to-back with the wins and the success of winning and that feeling," Morrison told BBC Radio WM.

"As players that's what we drive for, that's our main focus and I've squashed it all week, so we'll continue on that.

"The football is doing its talking and that's the way it should be. We've got no control over it so we'll do our talking on the pitch."

Morrison has no new injury concerns for Tuesday's game at The Hawthorns, but is aware of the danger posed by Watford as Albion seek a fourth successive clean sheet and more valuable points.

"We're in a good place, we've got to use that," he said.

"We're coming up against a dangerous team and they've got some dangerous players.

"They're one of the youngest teams in the league, they've got some pace and some good footballers, so we've got to try and make it a difficult night for them."
