LONDON (Reuters) - Relegation-threatened Watford cannot afford to lose their focus following the sacking of manager Nigel Pearson as they fight for their Premier League survival with two games left, interim boss Hayden Mullins said on Monday.

Pearson, who was hired in December with Watford at the bottom of the standings, was sacked after a 3-1 defeat at West Ham United left them three points above the relegation zone ahead of games against Manchester City and Arsenal.
