“Citizens” feel very good in Watford matches, winning the last 6 straight duels without big problems: 5-0, 2-0, 2-1, 2-0, 4-2 and 3-0. Even if Watford is unbeaten after 4 stages, this game will be very difficult to manage for Mario Silva’s boys, who have shown that they have defense problems when they meet redoubtable opponents.

City comes after a clear success in the Champions League groups on Feyenoord’s field, and the morale in the Pep Guardiola team’s camp is high: City has scored 11 goals in the last 3 games and is a very creative team that easily gets to the gate. In addition, the partnership between Jesus and Aguero works well in the offensive, and Watford’s slow defense will hardly block the construction of the guests.

Hosts do not matter Deeney and Okaka

Manchester City has 7 wins in the last 8 stages and can not claim title if he does not win in such games. “Citizens” have scored at least two goals in each of the last 6 matches with Watford and that’s likely to happen this time. Watford has a two-goal goal but Liverpool has scored three times on Vicarage Road in the first round, and Mario Silva’s band then had a pretty easy schedule. We’re staring at Pep Guardiola’s victory, which is going to hit the weekend! Deeney and Okaka are absent at the hosts and represent two very important losses for Watford.

THE PROBABLE TEAMS

Watford: Gomes – Holebas, Janmaat, Prodl, Mariappa – Doucoure, Chalobah, Cleverley – A. Gray, Carillo, Richarlison

Manchester City: Ederson – B. Mendy, Otamendi, Stones, Walker – Fernandinho, Gundogan – De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva – Aguero / Jesus
